what does "socially awkward" mean? examples?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know about topping anything, as everyone's reactions to things can be totally different, but the family feud story is actually my worst incident to date and is a good example of completely awkward.
My husband's family is very superstitious, and his cousin was 7 months pregnant at the time. They consider this to be the "safe zone" and felt that it was a good time to name the baby. They chose the exact same name of the baby our friends were going to have, but when she was 7 months pregnant she had a seizure and the baby died. So while the cousin and family were going on about how everything was safe and they could finally stop worrying, I blurted out, "Well our friend was 7 months pregnant and they were going to name the baby Logan too, but then he died." -_-; With the family's track record, I'm still surprised they still talk to me.... The silence after that statement, with everyone staring at me, was enough to make the densest Aspie take notice.

Then there's my dad... he's famous for these things too. He had a friend who had gotten pregnant but had lost the baby. Dad didn't realize and when he next saw her, wanted to say something positive so he told her, "Wow, I think you've started to pop out a bit!" And then she said, "I lost the baby." Cue crying. He's often been that one guy who asks, "When's the baby due?" and they're not pregnant. He swears he's going to never make another comment like that again, but then he does anyway. lol. >_<

I am NT trying to understand AS. I've come across this phrase thousands of times but it's still too vague. Can you explain it to me please, maybe with examples. Thank you.

It can also mean responding in unusual ways in conversation, or saying random strange things. For examples:

At work one day, my partner ant I were driving back from a call discussing what we were going to have for lunch. After a pause for roughly 5 seconds, I said "Would you come to my funeral?" She just about crashed the ambulance, then asked where the hell that came from. To me, it was rather simple.
1. There was nothing to eat in town but the same fast food places we eat at every week
2. our diets in EMS work are pretty unhealthy
3. Actually, the whole lifestyle is fairly rough on the body. Three of our co-workers have had heart problems in the past 4 years
4. And its not like inward threats are the only problem. People fight us, shoot at us, hold us hostage.
5. 24 hour shifts are rough and can affect our ability to drive. Our friend Chris was killed only a year ago in a wreck on his way home
6. His funeral was the biggest I had ever seen
7. Would mine be that big if I died?
8. Would Linda be there? I should ask her...


And more recently (last week, well into allergy season) My husband and I were driving and he was talking about putting some of that canned foam insulation around the windows. After a few seconds, I said "I don't want to die from something respiratory." My husband, somewhat more used to my randomness, did not about wreck, simply asked where that came from. He seems to enjoy hearing about my weird trains of thought.
1. Yeah, I know that stuff
2. They killed a guy on an episode of CSI:NY with that, sprayed it down his throat during a fight
3. That was such a horrible death scenes, one of the few that really bothered me
4. That's kinda what it feels like when I have an asthma attack
5. Crap, I forgot my inhalor!
6. Suffocation would be the worst possible way to die... I really don't want to die like that

If a person doesn't know enough about me to expect things like that it can really freak them out. I try to watch doing that around people who don't understand, but the problem is that I usually don't realize that the other person doesn't hear my little internal dialogue. It makes perfect sense to me, but the other person is completely lost.
