I just lost a job more or less because I'm socially awkward. This is actually the second time this has happened. For all you normal people, I'll explain:
>be awkward
>say/do something stupid because of awkwardness
>get judged
>become self conscious, and more awkward
>people think I'm retarded
>start talking to each other/the boss
>get treated like shit
>hours get cut to an insulting degree
>stop showing up
How can I stop being socially awkward long enough to keep a job. I'm starting to worry I'm going to work my current job until it eventually drives me to an hero. What do I do?

try not being a little bitch first and foremost, but we dont know what awkward things you say or do. they are the problem.

How am I a little bitch? I can't control the things people say or do i.e. talking shit about me behind my back.

>being this dumb
I use to be a social retard like you and thought that I couldn't control anything. Then I realized the only consistent thing in the equation was me so obviously I was doing something wrong and needed to improve but you don't sound like that. You sound like a scared child looking for a hole to crawl in and hide.
No one can help you with your vague as fuck description of the problem and I can tell you right now nothing will fix it unless you are willing to at least slightly fundamentally change yourself.

Just keep social interaction at the workplace as little as possible.
Depends on what you're saying.
Hey Bob, I fuck goats = not good.
Maybe work at a trade counter with low pay.
Quickfire social interaction without the pressure.

It's not even major things I'm getting wrong. Here I'll greentext a small interaction so you get a better idea:
>someone else: "Hello, I'm..."
>me: "Hi there, nice to meet you."
*shakes hand*
>other person: "Wait, what is your name?"
Just small things like that and then after a little while everyone acts really cold and just gives me one-word replies and generally act in a way that makes it really hard to socialize with them. Especially if you have a hard time socializing in general.

sounds like you work with pissy losers

>stop showing up
That's why you lost the job you moron. All you had to do was work hard and prove yourself but you quit like a bitch.

What's the point in showing up if I only make $100 a week and everyone hates me? This last time they were ready to fire me anyways, all they needed was a reason.
