Socially Awkward Penguin

Those of you who are familiar with memes or quickmeme.com may have heard of the Socially Awkward Penguin. What you may or may not know, is that I am the embodiment of the Socially Awkward Penguin (SAP from here on out because I'm too lazy to keep writing it out). Essentially, the SAP is a meme that details unfortunate situations (usually self-created) that a socially awkward person may get himself into. The penguin represents all of the people who may fit the socially awkward mold. As someone who has read hundreds (maybe thousands) of SAP memes, I can tell you that there are 2 types: external action and internal thought. The external action memes detail situations like, "Tell your friend they're going to land on their feet after an accident. Friend is in a wheelchair." The internal thought memes detail thoughts that may run through a socially awkward person's head, such as "Make a stupid comment at work. Spend the next 3 years replaying the situation in your head." When I think about why I am the SAP, it's because of these internal thought memes. If you run through the site, I've literally done almost all of the things listed on the memes. Sat next to a hot girl all semester and never said a word? Check. Dwelled on a stupid comment from high school and still think about it today? More than one. Said a joke that got an entire room to go silent? Been there, done that.

Up until recently, I was acutely aware of my SAP tendencies and did everything in my power to avoid them. Recently though, I've embraced my inner SAP and have begun to accept that some people are destined to be a SAP. I'm cool with that now. In fact, I think it's hilarious when I think back to the situations depicted in the memes and think about how many I've experienced. It proves that I'm not the only SAP out there.

Cheers to all the Socially Awkward Penguins out there in the world!

Enjoy the site everyone - don't say I didn't warn you that it will kill your productivity and may cause intense pain in your side from laughter.
