No, I just laugh off stuff.

However tv shows do make me awkward, but they don't care

Most definitely.

I'm very shy and awkward around new people, it took me 3 weeks to even talk to somebody new at College this year and in my Travel & Tourism class I still talk to none of them, they aren't my sort of people, I'm a proper outcast.

Not really. I'm quite quiet in most social situations unless I'm with my friends, but I know the soical norms and everything.

A bit yeah, not as bad as I used to be though, I can make conversation with people I don't know easily enough, although I do sort of have to be forced into talking with them, I wouldn't start up a conversation with a stranger just randomly

I can talk to anyone, on many levels my daughter thinks its really funny as she avoids some who she sees as rough or common (she is such a snob haha).
I don't socialise outside my group much though, I have my set of friends that hasen't changed for years.

It totally depends on the situation...If its to do with work I'm totally fine as I Know what I am talking about. Not quite so confident in social situation where I don't know anyone unless I have had a few drinks.

Worse thing I have encountered lately is taking my toddler to play group....mums are so bitchy and cliquey

Hmm.. well, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and practice your smile in the mirror, nothing too cheesy just a nice friendly smile. Don't fidget, sit or lean on a wall for support if you have to.
Practice by politely asking girls for the time?

I can socialise and schmooze as part of my job demands it, I don't enjoy it though. I am not socially awkward, but I am a bit anti-social which isn't the same thing at all.

I'm sure everybody on here is a tad socially awkward haha. I would say I am, if I am amongst a big group of a people at a social occasion I tend to be quiet. Although I do try to be as civil as I can.

I've been called a snob,but I'm really not,I just dont suffer fools gladly and like Livia i do tend to be a bit anti social,some people really annoy me so would rather stay away from them,but I adore my friends and just 'click' with some people.

Yes I hate talking to new people and things like that because I always screw it up and do the wrong thing and it just makes me want to quietly lock myself in a toilet and drink some bleach.

On first meeting yes, but once I get to know people I'm fine..terrible with new people though

I suppose if I'm approached i'm alright, but I hate asking for things/calling someone

Turning down lots of social events is good, then when you turn up you feel like a minor celebrity...OMG! haven't seen you in aaaaages
