If you're not a socially awkward introvert it's difficult to explain to others how you feel in “those” social situations, but these comics by German cartoonist floccinaucinihilipilificationa come pretty close. From those practised phrases coming out wrong, to saying goodbye to someone and then walking in the same direction, it's all there. And if you want some more socially awkward comics, check out this this story!

We previously covered some of this cartoonist's work here.

Worst time was when I was at a funeral trying to tell the family how sorry I was for their loss.

Me to Customers: Do you need help finding anything? Customer: No, we're just looking, thanks. Me: Your problem! (Tried to say 'you're welcome' and 'no problem' at the same time.)

Reminds me of how when you are in a foreign country standing in a similar queue mentally practising your request - then it your phraseology comes out all wrong when you are at the top of the queue.

Everyone is either introverted or extraverted... So it doesn't say much about someone's personality. Most of these portray neurotic personality traits. If you recognize yourself in them I think you really should consider getting professional help. I don't want to put anyone down, but I am totally serious. if you avoid people and justify it with your "introversion" and think you're somehow special because of it and people should just accept you without anything in return, you may end up alone and very unhappy. Being an introvert doesn't mean you have to be a socially awkward recluse. It's necessary to accept and love yourself with all your faults, but if you have serious issues and you are aware of them, but are unwilling to change, I can't respect that. The progress that you will make in your entire life may not be huge and you probably never will be the soul of a party or a leader of men, the key is to want and try to better yourself. Otherwise, whats the point of these insights?
