Freshman year of high school i was one of the most socially awkward people in my class. Fast foward 5 years to right now in college and i'm much,much more natural and relaxed socially. HS did so much good for me that way.

Every once in awhile I might feel slightly nervous when talking to someone I'm just meeting for the 1st time but to be honest I think that happens to everyone. Then after 10-20 minutes or so we just start to connect in the conversation and I'm as chill around them as I am my own family

Some people say I'm shy, but chances are I don't care what they were talking about at the moment :P

Never been much of a people person since I get annoyed rather easily depending on their personality type.

I'm not socially awkward at all. Since I changed schools several times and had to adjust and because I played sports.

Somewhat i guess, i have got better over the last year of college. Joined a fraternity and some other stuff. I am horrible with people i don't know, and really have no reason to get to know them.

No, but some people have mistaken me giving someone the cold shoulder for being anti-social.

I'm socially awkward in that I tend to stumble over my words a great deal of the time to the point that I begin stuttering. Its one of the conditions I picked up during my years in High School. I just never know if what I'm about to say is appropriate or not. So during the middle of a sentence, different thoughts on what I'm about to say flow through my mind which ends up causing me to stumble over my words as I try to combine my new thoughts with the sentence I already started.... I've gotten better at talking, but I'm not exactly a social person. I tend to be EXTREMELY quiet and keep everything to myself. I can hold a conversation if I need to, but I've never had any interest of doing so...

I don't know how much flak I'll get for this, but Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory acts almost exactly like I do. For those that don't know how that character acts, basically, I've never met an actual person who is similar to me in behaviour.

I'm generally a shut-in. You can trust me with your life. Just don't expect me to be the life of a party.

I also have bigger problems carrying on relations with family than I do with friends, which is weird. I'd rate myself 5/10 on the socially awkward scale, but I blame that on being isolated from everyone I know nowadays, and being alone most of my life as a youth, considering I was real out-going until such events.

I'm a little shy but I'm fine with talking to people. If I notice the other person is shy I would be the one to start off the conversation.

Pretty alright for the most part, can keep a conversation going easily, but have trouble opening conversations with ppl I don't know too well and also with saying hi to ppl in a school/workplace environment who I have talked to sometimes but am not particularly close with. One of the things I hated most about high school was seeing all these ppl who you've conversed with a couple of times, but aren't particularly close with, and deciding whether to greet them or just keep walking on... Hated that.

Same here. Communicating online is 56 times easier than communicating offline. IMO, of course.

A little bit, I talk when I need to and try to make small talk. People like me though.

I always hear "You're so quiet."

People in high school told me I was quiet. Well, of course I'm not gonna talk much when I'm not fitting in well. 90% of my school was either preps or jocks. They have lots of social confidence, and I didn't have much at the time, so yeah.

When I'm talking to strangers I can be a little awkward, because I have no idea how they'll react to something I say. When talking to people I sort of know, or older people, I get awkward because I feel like they'll just look down on everything I say. But for the most part, I'm very fluent when talking to people.

Fortunately, not at all. I used to be a bit when I was younger, but as I've grown up I've naturally gained plenty of self-confidence. Winning!?

Then technically you are socially awkward :p I don't think so, but if I spend a lot of time alone I tend to get used to it and then human interaction becomes a pain. The opposite also applies (I get used to social interaction when I do it a lot).
