Do People Like Me?
Do People Like Me?
I’ll admit it.
I’m an awkward person.
I have no idea what to say.
I can’t maintain eye contact.
Others probably get annoyed.
I say something.
It’s definitely wrong.
They try to comment.
I shouldn’t have said that.
They’re annoyed.
I see a familiar face.
They come over.
Probably to be nice.
I say something.
I screwed it up.
They hate me.
They don’t leave.
They say something else.
Just to be nice.
