I'm the same way, but I go hard paper all the way. I feel like rock is the most chosen.

I'm involved in awkward social situations daily pretty much. I don't know I just have really bad social anxiety and every conversation I hold with someone I don't know ends up being awkward because I'm not sure what to say and there's always a bunch of awkward pausing and just standing their glancing at one another or whatever.

Actually not daily because I avoid conversations if at all possible which probably makes the problem even worse lol.

I'm not sure why I'm so shy and have such anxiety when I do talk to whoever it normally goes over fairly smooth and I'm usually told I have a good sense of humor on the internet, because lets be real as a high school student you're not going to be told that IRL usually lol.

You would get rocked by my friends and I. We have developed deep strategies that pierce the inner mind barriers. We even created a 3 way rock paper scissor for even more intense games on big matters of importance. Either one person must beat the other two, or one is eliminated by losing to both. If the ladder then the game changes to regular 1v1 best of 3.

I had a game like that once. Three of us were sharing a room in a hotel in Vienna (we were there on a choir trip). There were three beds - two good ones and one kinda ****ty one in the corner. None of us were bothered about choosing beds, but none of us wanted to be the one to choose either, so we decided to settle it using Rock Paper Scissors. Basically, whoever was the odd one out, whether they won or lost, had to choose.

The first time, we all chose a different type, so everyone won and lost.
The second time, the exact same thing happened, with different choices.
The third time, we all chose rock.

At this point, one of my friends collapsed with laughter... and fell through the worst bed. We decided at that point that he could have that one.

Thats easily believable, it's actually ridiculous tbh.

I was pretty much the sane way (and depending on my state of mind I can do the same thing now.) I also had problems making eye contact for too long, as I was afraid it'd turn into an awkward pause.

Eventually by putting myself through the ringer of somewhat embarrassing social therapy (start up a conversation with a stranger, etc) I became far more confident.

Yeah I have thought about doing that but its something I just have not been able to pull myself to do. One day, hopefully, I'll take care of the anxiety. Like I said I know I'm not that weird or whatever its just a confidence thing that I have always had for as long as I can remember. Ah well.

I do not. Surely there must be a way to arrange this though. I need to assert my alpha male.
