    The other day at the checkout stand at my local drug store...

    Clerk: You have a Bonus Reward of $1, would you like to use that discount today?
    Me: ......?????  Long pause as I try to process whether or not to let my bonus points build for a bigger discount later.
    Clerk: This decision is going to change your life forever.

    Love this thread!

    For me, pretty much anything George Costanza or Curb-related.

    I belong here, but I don't really feel comfortable about it.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    :)  Now I am at at home.
    I am socially awkward.
    I embrace it, but is that an excuse for me not to try?

    Man, you're asking the wrong person. If I could have it my way, I'd be living in a neighborhood with Napoleon Dynamite, assorted Wes Anderson characters, Christopher Lloyd, Edward Scissorhands, and we'd hang out at Pee Wee's Playhouse and not watch movies with him.

    I'd hang out with John Waters and pick his brain!

    I understand this (too well).  Makes me wonder if we feel socially awkward or actually are that way?  Or are they ultimately the same thing, same end result?

    Whether by baby steps or a huge leap, it takes courage to make the effort itself.  Be proud of yourself (and BE yourself) every time you try.

    Good choice! He seems like he would be approachable, funny, and odd.

    You know I was surprised to hear you say that, hedo. I don't perceive you to be that way at all. You're one of the voices of reason on here, and not at all awkward. You seem to get along really well with all types of people. You know yourself better than I do, of course, but that's just what I've observed.

    Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and the smile given.

    I guess it occurs more when I feel the need to suppress parts of myself in certain situations.  If I'm not being me at the time, then who am I?  It feels insincere - awkward - on my part.  Probably why I'm not a big-group type of person!

    It's eased over time as I've come to realize that as long as I'm not being an asshole, there's no reason to hold back.  Being true to myself is more important than trying to meet someone else's expectations (or what I perceive to be their expectations).

    Hope that ramble makes sense =)

    I love those guys together! Anytime I tried to watch one of their shows with someone else, they would always say how sorry they felt for Karl, that he was being ganged up on. It didn't bother me, because it never really seemed to bother Karl.
