Do you ever get the feeling that you just can't interact normally with other people? I was in class today, sitting next to some guy I really like. We always talk before class and such. Well today we had a break during our class and we both stayed in the class during the break, talked a bit but mostly we just both sat there alone in silence. I just kept asking myself if I should try to start another conversation... or if it would just seem like me talking for the sake of talking. I'm not very good at starting conversations anyways. I just end up sounding weird.
I really don't know how to interact with people. I think that for some reason, I never learned normal human behavior as a child. I can remember at some point when I was probably in grade 9 or 10 when my counselor actually told me that when I walk by people I know in the hallway, it's ok to say hi to them. Honestly, that was news to me! People kept saying I was just shy, but I'm pretty sure there was something wrong in my early education or in the way my brain was set up.
I've come a long way since then but I still often feel like I'm an alien who just ended up on earth for some reason. I would need a book about "human interaction for dummies".
