    Text - Dreaming_In_Ink 16h In a group dynamic, when someone tries to always be part of the conversation. The kind of person who cannot exist without attention.

    Text - eiriadne 12h People who can't read other people's social cues. It's painful when they can't see that the other person isn't actually interested in talking to them.

    Text - ISwearlmCrazy 16h When people think that saying words louder will make a non speaker magically understand. This one lady kept screaming "MILK, MIIIILLK" and I felt bad for the young kid she was screaming at

    Text - the_ceiling_of_sky 14h When someone I'm with draws attention to themselves. Even when they are completely confident and doing it purposefully I feel embarrassed enough for two people. It's probably because I myself have social anxiety and try to fly under the radar.

    Text - Oddworld- 11h I'm not sure if this counts as secondhand or not but looking at anything you did or said online when you were in middle school. Individually removing all of my facebook posts was a long and painful death inside.

    Text - mcg42ray 14h Seeing teenage guys trying to impress the girls. They're all soo0 bad at it, and sooo obvious. But live and learn, I guess. I've been married 25+ years and the thought of doing the whole dating thing is just too much.

    Text - cassyeeee 10h When someone has something on their face and you don't know how to tell them. One time I was sick and before I went into the petrol station to pay for my petrol I wiped my nose with my sleeve (I know eww) when I got inside I saw a guy I liked and had a nice chat when I got back to the car I looked in the mirror and had a huge green line of snot from my nose to my eye.
