one month bump ~~

I usually laugh, and point out how silent it is! I counter awkward silences with my awkwardness!
Sometimes I ask generic questions to like.. "haha, so anyways, how's life?" "how's school?" "anything new?"

Gotta break the silence.

Walk away! There's always another chance to talk to the guy, but never another to talk to another guy. Am I crapping? I guess I am.

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

try changing the conversation to another topic but if that still doesn't work and there's a lingering awkward silence in the atmosphere...well, time to say my goodbyes and leave.

Wow, that often happens to me, as I tend to be a quiet person xD I don't really find silences awkward, unless I'm not with a close acquaintance. If I'm not I always get worried that the other person would find me extremely boring and I start chattering about trivial stuff just to escape it...

Quote from VenusInFurs

I give the other person about 10-15 seconds before I just start saying random shit to break the silence.

Ditto! I am scared of awkward silences...and that is why I am known to be too talkative, when all I want to do is not have the thundering silence between people..

Well...I get awkward silences a lot because because I'm just not a conversationalist. x[
It's no problem with my reallllyy close friends, but with you know, just school friends that you know and occasionally hang out with, it gets really awkward. >.<
Especially at lunch, I don't really have super close friends with me like last semester.
I have one friend who I'm not especially close with and a really good friend that I used to be really close with but now not so much.
It's so awkward at lunch because I don't talk when I eat. x___x So awkward silence...thank god we sit with talkative guys to make it less awkward. lol

So I either walk away, say something stupid like "So...COMO ESTAS? : D" or try to make small talk.

Well, I don't FEEL like helping to keep a conversation alive. I guess most people know that I don't talk when I don't want to and when I do feel like talking, I won't shut up. I do feel bad sometimes though whenever I give them no room to even save an awkward silence, but I JUST CAN'T HELP IT.
