Complete this simile: "As awkward as _______"A Story by DI got this book from target with 300 writing prompts. Every now and then I try to knock one out. The title of the story is the prompt from the book
"As awkward as me"
This is a joke but at the same time it's not. I am the most awkward thing I know. From not speaking enough, to sometimes speaking entirely too much. Nervous laughter. Stuttering. Shaky eye contact. I'm the whole shabang. Sometimes when I'm talking to people I get so worried that I'm about to say/do something awkward that my brain starts screaming at me "BE NORMAL! BE NORMAL!". As a result I don't hear what the person is telling me. Out of embarrassment I just smile, nod my head, and pretend I heard what they just said. My greatest fear is this conversation: Normal Person: Hey Darien, how are you? Me: Oh hey, I'm doing good. How about yourself? Normal Person: Not so good, my mom is sick in the hospital Me: *smiles and nods head*
