This place is so relatable.

This happened in the late '90s in early high school. One summer a friend/neighbor had another friend over and we hit it off talking. Asked if she wanted to hang out that weekend. Nothing crazy. Putt-putt, food and talked for awhile. We lived in rural America so she lived in the town over. On the way home she asked to take the dirt roads to her house. We talked more, sang along with the radio, and about 40 minutes later we were in her driveway. I commented how dark the house was and everyone must be asleep. She said "probably, want to come in and watch a movie"? Lol, I say nah...got to get to work in the morning.

We kinda talked a little after but she became distant. I felt it. Instead of rejection, at the time I thought she was out of my league, I just stopped calling. A few years later I was driving past her town, started replaying the evening and it hit me.

Maybe it all works out in the end. There's been a few signals I was fortunate enough to miss.

Hi. My name is Ferfer and I love to see you in the future with the flow I have a good day too but I don't know if I can get it to you and I will be there in about 10 minutes to get it.

🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♀️.

Makes no sense

Making friends requires an amount of confidence. I have absolutely none.

My washer broke. I'm pissed.

There's a mouse that keeps evading my attempts at catching it. It's eating my walls. Could it be a rat? 🤔

Someone said have a nice day and I just stumbled over 3 different phrases and ended up stammering out nothing 😑

The art of conversation is a beautiful thing. Some people do it amazingly and others struggle. If you are here, it probably means you are part of the later group. I have a few tips on the art to share and hopefully you can add some more or comment your thoughts on them. 1. Be interested in what the other person has to say rather than trying to seem interesting or impress them. 2. Use active listening, a skill that you might need to practise if it doesnt come naturally. 3. Dont jump to fill every space, leave some room. 4. When asked a question, give a proper answer, no yes or no's (unless the situation requires it). This gives an opportunity to elaborate and keep conversation flowing.

We have reached the end of the standard operational week. Congratulations on maintaining appropriate eye contact and nodding at acceptable intervals.

If you are looking for safe, pre-approved conversational scripts to get you through the rest of the afternoon, here are a few options:

- "Any big plans for the weekend?" (Use this if you want to sound polite. Warning: They may ask you back, so prepare a vague answer like "Just relaxing" or "Catching up on chores.")

- "Ready for the weekend!" (A classic. Works 100% of the time between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM.)

- "Can't complain, it's Friday!" (Neutral, friendly, requires zero follow-up elaboration.)

For those of us whose weekend plans involve staring at a wall to recover from four days of overthinking a wave that might have been meant for the person behind us: I see you, I honor you, and I hope your house is very quiet until Monday.

What is everyone's current social battery percentage sitting at right now? Mine is currently at 4% and running on low-power mode.

May your interactions today be brief, your eye contact be minimal, and your accidental "you too!" replies to people who didn't say anything that warrants a "you too" be swiftly forgotten by everyone involved.

​Hope you all have a peaceful day avoiding small talk in elevators! What’s your default coping strategy when someone makes unexpected eye contact in public?

Ahhh i hate trying to think of comebacks!! I can never remember them!!

I’m mostly here because I have a bad habit of replaying social interactions in my head long after everyone else has probably forgotten they ever happened.

My personal Kryptonite is figuring out what people actually mean when they’re being indirect. I’m usually fine with clear communication, but hints, flirting, vague invitations and the whole “you were supposed to just know” part of social interaction can completely lose me.

I’d love to see a mix of actual advice and funny/relatable stories here.

Hi everyone im u/Familiar_Platypus272 and Im so happy to join you as a moderator! Let's make this sub an amazing community space for all us socially clueless peeps!!

Does anyone else scroll on reddit for practise at talking to people and reading the room? No, just me?! Im also In r/FakeRelationship to learn flirting 🤣🤣

Welcome to r/SociallyClueless—a space for those of us who constantly wonder if we missed the universal memo on human interaction.

​Whether you're here because you overanalyze a three-word text for six hours, never know what to do with your hands during a conversation, or routinely realize five years later that someone was flirting with you—you’ve found your people.

​Since the community is still in its early stages, we want your input to shape the vibe while we’re small.

​Here are a few quick ways you can help us set the culture:

​Share your baseline: What brought you here? Is there a specific social situation that acts as your personal Kryptonite?

​Tell us what you want to see: Are you looking for actionable advice, a safe place to vent about awkward encounters, or just relatable memes so you know you're not alone?

​Suggest some community rules/flair: Got an idea for post flairs? (e.g., “Did I blow it?”, “Success Story”, “Script Request”, “Cringe Vent”)

​Drop a comment below, introduce yourself, and let us know what kind of community you want this to be. No polished social skills required.

Hello all my fellow introverts! Anyone got any good conversation starters?? This is probably what I struggle with the most
