I feel awkward when people bring up uncomfortable things in public, and since I'm in college where people still think its okay to be consistently wasted, it happens pretty often. For example, my sorority is rather large and while I love all my sisters, there are a number of them that I either do not know well, or am friendly with but not really that close to. One of the latter used to have a gigantic crush on the guy I happen to be seeing, and since I'm not really close with her, I had no idea until he and I had already got together. She comes up to me EVERY time she sees me out, and goes into a loooong speech about how she used to like him. I honestly don't know what she wants me to say..."okay, you can have him"? Mostly I keep quiet about him and don't flaunt him in front of her, but I didn't know until after I started seeing him and its beginning to drive me nuts! /rant

I'm a person who is terrible with names, great at recognizing faces, but I couldn't place them in so many cases if my life depended on it. I can't tell you how many times someone will start a conversation as if they know me really well and I can't figure out how they know me so I'll just go with it but feel very awkward. Sometimes I am completely sure I have never seen the person before...perhaps I look like someone else? This happens to me really often, and I'm not sure why. I'm not even much of a drinker, so that can't be it!

Also, I am just five feet tall and a pretty tiny person...lets just say I can fit into the larger sizes of children's clothing. However, it makes me REALLY uncomfortable when people comment on it...I've had people try to pick me up, pat me on the head, yell OMG YOU'RE SOOOOOO CUTE AND LITTLE and it really freaks me out. For the record, I usually like being little, but people can get really weird about it and act like I'm some sort of doll.
