being alone with someone you're not really comfortable with

I'm a social butterfly actually it's just my resting btch face that makes me people intimidated by me, so I think I'm the one who makes people uncomfortable or insecure. I remember trying to talk a friend's friend but she kept looking everywhere and making shorthand replies till I gave up and went on my phone. She later told my friend that she was scared talking to me because I look like one of those "pretty mean girls"? Not sure if that was a compliment or what.

I think the only time I felt uncomfortable is being on a public bus and that one particular stop picks up other high schoolers and I just get agitated.
 
i always make convo with ppl but after todays 'events' im probs gonna be an ass too everyone unintentionally bc things today have really pissed me off bc it keeps happening like ughhh #firstworldproblems
 
If I don't want to make small talk, and I usually don't, I won't. I prefer being left alone and I don't see why I should talk about the weather with people I don't care about. I can sit in silence for hours and it doesn't bother me.
 
when you're a very quiet person and your friends think you're mad at them because you're not talking

Oh my gosh I hate being alone with people I'm not close to. And here's a story about me and my crush:

So, like, there was one time after Chemistry class that me and my crush walked the same route going home, and I was barely close with him at that time and we were alone and it was so awkward.......... we tried to small talk by talking about tests and acads but I couldn't bare to even look at him and my heart was pounding and we walked for a really long time while trying to think of interesting things to say (and I ultimately sounded boring oh my gosh so humiliating esp. in front of my crush). And yeah basically I want to walk with him again to prove that I'm not boring or awkward to talk to haha /sobs
 
I get really uncomfortable being alone with guys that I know like or are attracted to me... I wonder where that stems from :/
 
I'm only uncomfortable around someone if they annoy me or harrass me on purpose, especially if I am stuck with them. In my old job, I was stuck doing trash duty with this one guy and I HATED it, oh my god all he did was bug the crap out of me and he knew he annoyed me but he only enjoyed doing it. Thank god I no longer work there though I was seriously about to snap. It's people like that that only lower my confidence and self esteem. :/
 
If there is one thing I hated in high school, it is when I was stuck with one of my friend's girlfriends. At lunch, they liked to run off to the bathroom to put a dip in so while they are off doing that for a few minutes, I was usually stuck trying to make small talk with his girlfriend. Eventually, it got to where I decided to go back with my original group as I really didn't to be around for when they would get caught with the chewing tobacco and for the small talk when they would leave.
