social problems

Post Reply New Topic

so the other day at church, me and my friend (I'll refer to her as 'b')were standing on the patio and she was telling me how she broke her wrist. A little girl comes up and asks "what happened to your arm?" and I blurt out "oh I abused her". (this was ment as a joke and didn't come out right ) they both stared at me and the little girl walked away. B then sais "why did you say that?" I couldn't tell if she was mad or embarrassed so I just kind of shrugged it off.
when were times wen you had an awkward Social experience? How did you deal with it? Any advice?l

I also have a tendency to just say what comes to mind. Sometimes, it can get me into trouble (If someone doesn't realize i'm joking) so I tend to just keep quiet around people that don't know me very well. I usually just brush it off, I'm fine with my comments. It's usually others that have problems with it!

I'm afraid I mostly "deal" with saying sometimes crazy things is to not be in places like churches and to not be around people who are easily offended. I seek out people with darker senses of humor and odd sensibilities.

I KNOW for a fact that I tend to say the wrong and inappropriate things around people because my "jokes" might touch a nerve, rub people the wrong way and simply insult them. Since it's something I can't correct I simply avoid people altogether because I always run the risk of they not getting me.
