Ever Had a Job Interview Mishap? | The Antisocial Butterflies
https://theantisocialbutterflies.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/ever-had-a-job-interview-mishap
Ever Had a Job Interview Mishap? January 25, 2011. For some people, though, we never get used to the agony that is the pressure of a job interview. You know how your mom always used to tell you that there are such things as “good nerves”? This is true. There are nerves that build anticipation and foster motivation to succeed. And then there are bad nerves. These make us anxious in a way that causes us to lose our concentration, and sometimes fail. If so, what happened? Repeat yourself ten times? When he ...

The Stress of Speech | The Antisocial Butterflies
https://theantisocialbutterflies.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/the-stress-of-speech
The Stress of Speech. March 12, 2011. There are an infinite amount of words in the English language. We make them up, we string them together. Alone, these words are anything but awkward. Sometimes, they’re beautiful. Scary. Gross. Weird. Boring. Offensive. Pleasant. But there is no word that is awkward in itself. Not even the word awkward is actually awkward. By its own definition. Have you ever met someone that is genuinely terrified of taking a writing class? A stretch, perhaps but not by much. Some t...

January 17, 2011. To the hoi polloi, to personally experience a socially awkward encounter is chalked up to something everyone deals with. Embarrassment is just an intuitive emotion that is part of the human spectrum of feelings and reactions to unfamiliar situations our brain encounters. The natural interpretation of these events is to perceive them with humor. The best I can hope for is that the soup doesn’t scald my skin. January 8, 2011. I made him take the rose back. I was confused; nobody had e...

About | The Antisocial Butterflies
https://theantisocialbutterflies.wordpress.com/about
Everybody has quirks. We all have secrets, and we all second-guess ourselves. This is normal. What I have realized, perhaps, is not normal is feeling your eyelids twitch and your throat lump when you notice someone staring at you. Maybe you play with your food when out to eat. Rip up napkins. Count Splenda packets. My name is Hannah. I am a. Let’s laugh about it. The ideal photo for an antisocial butterfly is one that shows you as vaguely as possible, or focuses mainly on another object or person. You ar...

With All the Best Intentions | The Antisocial Butterflies
https://theantisocialbutterflies.wordpress.com/2011/02/20/with-all-the-best-intentions
With All the Best Intentions. February 20, 2011. I wonder what it feels like to be described as suave. Charming, even. Urbane. Dreamy. You know, the words that come to mind when you leaf through magazines and see perfectly staged ads for cologne, lipstick, expensive vodka. Have you ever looked at personal ads in a newspaper? I’m an athletic, educated and funny single 20-something looking for someone I can stay up with and talk to all night. Sounds pretty good, right? The first guy who wanted to date me w...

I Need This Job | The Antisocial Butterflies
https://theantisocialbutterflies.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/i-need-this-job
I Need This Job. February 7, 2011. The domino effect. We all know that it’s when one event sets off a chain of more events. The force this first event creates can’t be stopped, no matter how disastrous those that follow it may be. Sometimes, we feel it more than others. Socially, the gravity of the domino effect depends on the circumstances. In high-stress situations like job interviews, the force is usually unstoppable and terribly destructive. For some of us. Envy Must be nice. According to Beth Miller...

https://theantisocialbutterflies.wordpress.com/2011/02
February 26, 2011. I’m going to bug you readers for feedback one more time! I want to talk about some of the most common–and uncommon–social fears we all possess. Freeze up when it’s time to speak in class or give a speech? Dread small talk with your dentist? On the contrary, are you a chatterbox with no people fears? Give me an example. With All the Best Intentions. February 20, 2011. Have you ever looked at personal ads in a newspaper? You’ve met someone in class or at work he or she will seem to good ...

A Thud and a Treadmill | The Antisocial Butterflies
https://theantisocialbutterflies.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/a-thud-and-a-treadmill
A Thud and a Treadmill. February 8, 2011. This exact same thing happened to me today, except. A) My pants didn’t fall off. B) I fell because a friend made me laugh. C) I did not run away like I’d committed a horrendous crime. D) My fall was much less streamlined, and involved more clonks. Props to him for making the fall so graceful, even sans pants. Does this pertain to me being antisocial? Nah, not really. Awkward? Me rolling around on the gym floor laughing at myself, and needing help to get up? The L...
