Ugh..

[Indylady]

Is there someone in the world that just makes you say awkward, random things when you see them?

I have a acquaintance that makes me say the weirdest things. Why, I don't know. Maybe because I said something weird the first or second time I met him, and then felt forever awkward. I've now known this person for 2 years, and I never fail to be awkward.

Anyone else have a person that just makes you go awkward?

Maybe I'm the only one..

 

[Porridge]

Oh yes totally! I don't know what it is! Honestly sometimes I want to walk up to this person and go "hey, look I'm actually usually pretty cool, it's just that every time I meet you I have literally just woken up, so my brain is mush. Here are some friends who will back me up on this statement. Kthxbye."

Yup. My cousins' wife who I've known my whole life. I admire her greatly and say stupid things every time we talk.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Yup.. it's really really strange. Luckily I'm not afflicted by many people, but there have been a couple in my life

 

[anchor31]

Oh yes. Don't we all?

Mine was a couple of years ago. I was a newlywed and very much in love with my husband (still am), but there was this teller at the bank across the street from where I worked who was really, really cute, and I would just blush and fumble and stutter like a teenager every. single. time. I saw him. For some reason, I would always end up being served by this teller when I went to the bank, and serving him myself when he came to the post office across the street for bank or personal business. He seemed to like me too and even did some very light flirting on a couple of occasions. Once my boss was with me when he came around at the post office, and she later teased me that we looked like a couple of lovestruck 15-year-olds. I died. I haven't seen him since we moved 1½ years ago, I don't remember his name. He was sweet, I hope he's doing well.

Oh yes.

Hi IndyLAdy!

YES! There is this one woman that used to make me not myself. She was female, so no crush potential, but she seemed so much more put together than me, I was intimidated. Every time I talked to her, I said the OPPOSITE of what I meant! She was perfectly nice and I looked like a total jerk! Then she came down with a tiny breast cancer (the size of a pinhead) and opted to have both her breasts removed because of genetic predisposition. Intimidating act of pure courage!

She said "I don't think breasts are important in the scheme of things, do you?"

I, being all fumbly, said, "I think they're very important".

What the hell was in my head?!! I don't even vaguely feel that way!

She stopped talking to me, and I don't blame her one speck!

I'm a big mess of awkwardness.
