I’ve been browsing http://www.reddit.com/r/socialskills/ today.

A common issue on the forum is that people get too into their heads. They feel one way but they think they should act another and their body and their brains go different ways, and they don’t know what to do, it’s awkward, they go and write up a long question on Reddit.

Well, everyone has negative emotions. Even Brad Pitt experiences feelings like awkwardness, depression, apathy, or yada yada yada yada…

Weeeell, maybe not Brad Pitt.

Ha, I kid. Everyone does on a regular basis, even if you’re the ‘world’s sexiest man’ or what have you. The point is, it’s a part of you. You can pretend it isn’t all you want but that just makes it worse. Just know that you have the right to express your feelings. Feelin’ really awkward? Feel free to raise your eyebrows and chuckle at the situation. Do anything except for worrying about stuff like ‘what would an alpha male/female do’ or ‘does he/she like me’. That’s for pussies, and you don’t want to be a pussy.

Now go out and get ’em.
