Social behavior?

Being homeschooled you might lack some social skill however, this is not something you can't work on. I'd suggest starting with simple voice chats..Basicly learning to talk to strangers while still being home, it helped alot for me to being talking to people in real life. About the "freak" thing..Your not, and I doubt anyone will see you that way. But you need to understand their perspective aswell, they might not be used to interacting with someone who is a bit lacking with social interation, so it's just as awkward for them as it is for you. So no, they won't see you as a freak.

Practice. It's the most effective way to communicate properly. Go to a friend and have 'practice-conversations' with him/her. Learn the proper filters in a conversation. Go on-line and talk to some strangers. Learn to be comfortable in talking to people.People will judge you no matter what you do. Their first impression of you may not be all that good but in time you could prove to them that they're wrong. Be patient with yourself and smile. That's one of the key factors in meeting people. Be friendly ♥ Best of luck! Xx

I feel like when you're apart of a graduating class in a school, it's like you belong to some group for others to identify. "Where do you go to school?" "I go to ---- High School", you don't feel like an alien. There's nothing freaky about being homeschooled; it's actually quite interesting to people because not many kids are homeschooled in America. You also have to think, you cannot impress everyone. The whole room full of people could be laughing at you, or laughing at something else. You don't know for sure unless you went up and asked them yourself, but either way, what is it really worth? You can't control why they're laughing anyway. Just have a backbone to it and do what you do, if people say shit, they do. My college is very catty, rude, and judgmental, it's actually shocking I can say all this because OCD makes it difficult just to go to the dining hall with all the people, but I just refuse to let it kill me and I stay true to myself. If they have a problem with me, they can laugh their asses out the door. Who needs em
