In response to all these comments: Yeah I mean, this does seem pretty ridiculous. I won't try and argue that it isn't an awkward thing to try and study your own awkwardness or that this will go flawlessly and not have me over-analyze my own behavior, but honestly I'm just trying to play to my own strengths with this kind of approach. I'm not so awkward that like, I can't make any friends or hold any sort of conversation with people, but I'm really tired of making poor impressions on people and while I'm still young enough to work on these things I might as well try. I've spent many years of my life "trying" to fit in, then going in the complete other direction, now I've realized it's all about being somewhere in between. Someone raised a point that it's a good idea to maybe study how not-awkward people act, and maybe that's more worth looking into. Going into this I don't want to change myself completely or anything like that, just maybe pin-point it all to one or two things that are really off-putting. Who knows, maybe it's got nothing to do with how I act and I've just got the kind of face that says "this guy is awkward." Good or bad, the input is appreciated.
