i know a bloke and he is one of my good friends who is massively awkward and embarrasing* to be around espically with women. his one main intrest is soccer and that is what his wardrobe revolves around he is one of the nicest blokes i know and he cops a fair bit of shit.

it's just coming to a head now as everyone else has grown up and moved on from this sort of thing.

anyone else have any awkward mates that you love but cringe anytime your with them out in public? .

Have a mate who is a virgin. 25 years old. Not a fat neckbeard type or anything. Just genuinely strange and hard to have a conversation with. Been to the strip club with him before and he couldn't stop laughing at the girls when we were there. Felt bad for the girls there when it was happening. I sometimes think he may be a psychopath.

He could be mildly ******ed.
 
I know what your talking about.

I have a mate who i have been good friends with since i was about 14 (19 ATM) who is a bit socially awkward. Really nice guy but all he ever wants to do is get out of his brain on whatever he can get his hands on. He smokes a fair bit of weed and will randomly ask us to drop acid with him. When we go out he doesnt like to dance or talk to girls, sort of just stands in the corner.

I blame it mainly on confidence issues, during high school one friend in particular gave him a fair bit of shit. I think he overdoes stuff to fit in (i.e get really pissed or high) but it further distances him from our social group. He is actually quite likeable, just a bit wierd.

How did you get to be mates with him if he is strange and hard to have a consversation with ?
 
I'm probably the awkward mate of our friendship circle.

I don't normally have problems in a social setting but I was described as a mix between Zach Galifinakis and The Situation from Jersey Shore once.
 
So your a fat, obnoxious ********? :D

Have one mate who is really rare around girls. But insists he is straight. Gets really blind and you will find him dancing in the corner, arms drapped around random blokes. Bit awkward when he wants us to join him .

Not extremely fat (I'm 'unfit') but I have been described as obnoxious. Mostly the comparisons come from my severely abstract and awkward sense of humour in conversations (Galifinakis) and my intense desire to acquire women when I'm drunk/on the prowl in a club (Situation).

Question, considering you're "unfit."
Does that weigh into your mind when you're on the prowl?

Do we all have that friend that you connect to through another friend? I do and whenever it's just me and him the conversation mainly consists of awkward silence :D
 
I think I'm the awkward mate.
I'm even more hateable because I amplify my awkwardness on purpose to make others around me more awkward :)

I have no filter, often leading me to say things I think quite amusing yet probably are probably borderline offensive to others.

I'm "that guy".

Pretty much these.

If I'm back home, and head out with my mates there, which is rare, I'm the guy that, at some point during the night that will just disappear and go home. Say nothing to anyone, and walk out.
 
im one of the 'awkward mates'.

it all really began when my parents decided to move from melbourne to sydney in january of 1997. at that point i was just heading into year 11 that year.

living in melbourne, was fairly sociable, got along with all my mates. had 2 groups really. had one group from primary school up until end of year 7 that i hung out with the most on weekends and after school. and another set of mates that i had from years 8-10 as well.

the first group from primary school up to year 7 were the main ones though, used to hang out after school and at weekends playing basketball and shit, afl, had similar tastes in music and the likes.

but upon the move to nsw and a new school for year 11, it was a pretty big change. went into a shell, was introduced to a group by a teacher. but there were no similar interests at all. they were all into cars and rugby league and everything i wasnt into. so i became this person that just sat there listening or daydreaming.

and it carried on into after school. and i dont know, i guess i became that introverted, socially awkward and nervous because of the situation behind the last 2 years of my schooling that i was too scared to make a change about anything. just sat at home for a few years, became a pothead at about 20 for 2 years or so until for some reason i forget, i came into contact with one of them again. hung out, but was always poked fun at for being quiet and all the time i questioned why i even bothered to join them. but the plus side is that i did start dating one of the mates sister. so that was an enjoyable 4 years.

when we broke up, i guess i wasnt in contact with them any longer and ended up living on my own for 6 months or so. it drove me nuts, but i ended up moving back to my old mans and i became a drunk. although i dont think my dad suspected this due to his working hours. (was in bed by 8pm at absolute latest) and i dont know how long this lasted, but i think too long.

anyway. i think i am better off a loner, because i cant string a sentence together and have trouble holding a conversation. i go to a lot of concerts myself and i tend to just find a corner i can hole myself up into whilst still being able to see the bands. at the same time i can also watch and envy the others that are able to laugh, talk and enjoy a beer.

i live in glasgow now.
 
Well I'm not the awkward mate; in fact I'm probably one of the ones that is able to talk and get along individually with all the guys and girls in our group really well.

That said, I haven't made a 'new' friend at uni this year... mainly because there hasn't been much need to.

I've got a group of seven or so mates from school who I hang out with regularly at uni.

I'll have people who I chat with in class, but I wouldn't call them 'friends' (I don't have their numbers or catch up with them outside class).

It's actually one of the reasons I'm considering moving to a different uni; to force myself to get involved in the 'new social side' of uni life.

I just haven't put the effort into making new friends at uni, I already have a large group of close friends... so I'm pretty comfortable with that.

Probably a bit too comfortable.

I do have a mate who's really awkward to be around however (ie. topic of the thread); he's a genuinely good kid and means well.... he's just is an embarrassment when he gets on the piss.

Gets really loud and obnoxious, and he already has a talent for saying really stupid things and making up lies to impress people.

He's not awkward in the traditional sense (quiet, weird), more that when you are sitting with him he makes it so hard to talk to new people because of the stupidity of the things he says.
 
I've successfully managed to go a whole semester without knowing anyone at uni. Takes skills when you live on campus.

I do get lots of work done though
