Awkward

Today I was in a coffee shop and this guy just started up a conversation randomly. I am sooo bad with small talk. He asked me if I lived here and I said oh I'm moving.. he said where? I was like umm I don't know. Like what?.. a few people kind of looked at me weird. I wish I could just say hey everyone I'm super awkward and have horrible social anxiety please don't expect me to give you normal answers I'm nervous and words are just coming out without me thinking because I feel if I leave too much space between talking it makes me a weirdo but I end up just saying weird shit. Argg. Sorry. Life makes me uncomfortable.

You did nothing wrong

That guy was completely in the wrong. He was asking a total stranger personal questions that were none of his business. Sometimes remembering what we were taught as kids helps in adulthood "I don't talk to strangers."

I would have just ignored him or said I wasn't interested in talking, btw I'm a guy.

No one has the right to force you into conversation or anything with out your consent. He didn't have your consent.

You can just say that. I mean that kind of blunt to the point honesty and openness from a woman just like that... If you said that to me, I would be down on one knee proposing to you then and there. You would have just knocked my socks off, and no other woman would ever do for me.

Yeah and behaving like that would just end you up spending your life alone in solitude with your many cats.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as rude... but, I just need to be left alone right now".

It's that simple, and no need to be hostile, and prematurely jump into belligerent A-Hole mode.

You're not weird. I wouldn't want to tell a strange man or any of the other strangers that were listening in where I was living or moving to.

Think Vancouver makes people this way . The majority is so anti to talking to strangers that it just amplifies

All we hear about from women is how there are no men in Vancouver women outnumber men by 8 to 1 they never approach and talk to women OMG it's so terrible here I'm moving to Alberta.
