I'm trying really hard not to sound full of myself
I've always been an attractive guy, but ever since I grew my hair out from a buzz cut, the response has been overwhelming. I am terribly antisocial so I have no idea what to do when people (especially guys) flirt with me. How can I stop being so damn awkward all the time?
In a span of 10 minutes:
1-
>Hey Anon, do you remember my name?
>Can I play with your hair?
>*Plays with my hair while two others talk to me*
2-
>Hey, what's your name?
>You're hot as fuck
>Just joking, I-I mean not joking but-
3-
>I love your eyelashes
>What's your ethnicity?
What am I supposed to do here? I've drafted this several times in fear of coming off as conceited, but this happens everyday. I don't want it to stop, of course, but I would like to know how to not just sit there blushing and spurting out multiple thank-you's.
Not posting self, but I'm basically Missandei
make a stock list of 20 pre-prepared responses that are dismissive but clever. Cycle through them.
Start with:
"hey, I love your hair"
"thanks, I made it myself"

That's really useful, thanks. Though I guarantee a good bit will be extremely cringy.

If making a list is too hard you could always just give a compliment back. See how people respond to it. Steal behaviors and responses that you like or found charming.

I thought about that, but when I'm surrounded by four girls and a guy I'm 75% sure is attracted to me, giving out return complements can be pretty tedious and weightless.
This occurs at lunch, when the entire table does a reverse roast on me daily:
>"Anon's the type of guy to make a girl stop him from pulling out just by looking in her eyes"
Feels good man, tbqh

just say thank you man there's nothing wrong with that response. If I get complimented on my appearance be it face, clothing, smell etc I usually say "thank you I try really hard" with a smile
my mom always told me not to downplay a compliment. they said that for a reason

Yeah I had the same thing before I stopped caring about life and grew a beard. I just developed this ironic narcissistic persona that would agree with compliments and swoon over my own appearance as a coping mechanism for the awkward. Kinda cringe if you're not funny/can't get the timing right, but it'll stop the reverse roasts dead in their tracks.

You're a lucky cunt, that's what you are. Don't complain about something that a billion people on the planet don't have but you do. Shut the fuck up and go enjoy the world.

My dude, I'm not complaining about it, just asking how to not be an autist when it comes to these situations.

>I am terribly antisocial
You mean asocial. Anti-social implies psycopathy.

That's some fucked up shit. Does she have stds or have she had any abortions?
