    22 Awkward Situations Antisocial People Know Too Well

    I've forgotten what my voice sounds like.

    1. You're so out of practice that you're often not sure how to greet people.

    2. When you're forced to interact, you forget whatever it is that humans discuss with one another.

    3. ...And when you DO talk, you discover that keeping to yourself so much means that you've forgotten how to form logical sentences.

    Wait, what is that word for people who aren't Netflix? Is there a word for that?

    4. You're so used to staying in, enjoying your own company, that you sometimes fail at dressing like a human adult when venturing out in public.

    5. And when you do venture out to interact with other people, you spend the entire party playing with the host's pet.

    6. And if there's no pet around, people at the party will definitely notice that you're spending too much time in the bathroom.

    7. You struggle to come up with new and exciting ways to leave social functions early. It can get weird.

    8. And you come to realize that most of your social interactions are carried out at a distance, usually via text. Specifically, via the poop emoji.

    9. Sometimes, you fail to creatively switch up ways to cancel plans.

    10. You make your own fun, and sometimes that means having a roommate walk in on your solo dance party.

    11. And you eventually discover that trying to drink ALONE at a bar is nearly impossible.

    12. And, at the movies (again, alone,) you often find yourself sitting between horrible strangers.

    13. And, when you go out to eat, there's that moment when you realize other people at a restaurant think you're being stood up.

    14. Also, there's that awful moment when you forget not to eat like a garbage monster in public.

    15. And you're so used to singing out loud in your room that you accidentally do it in public.

    16. When you do attempt to date something other than your TV, you pretty much fail at flirting.

    17. And you often laugh out loud at your own thoughts, even in public.

    18. You'll eventually get caught in an anti-social lie thanks to social media.

    19. You talk about characters from your favorite Netflix shows as if they're real people.

    20. ...And spend so much time reading alone that you begin speaking the way your favorite authors write.

    21. Plus, you spend so much time online that you accidentally say "LOL" out loud in front of humans.

    22. And your attempts to hide your distaste for prolonged human interaction rarely work.

    This is all to say: SORRY. I can't hang out.
