If You're An Awkward Person, You Can Relate

If You're An Awkward Person, You Can Relate

We've all gone through life experiencing similar situations. Some of us handle them better than others. If you're anything like me, most of these situations turn into fairly awkward experiences. Why I can't react like any normal person? I have yet to figure out. BUT I'm sure some of you out there can relate, I can't possible be the only one!

1. God forbid someone tell us something positive about ourselves. 50 shades of grey? Our faces will show you 50 shades of red. Do I say thank you? Do I agree? No, hide my face. I should definitely hide my face!


2. Phsyical contact? Sure, there are probably a select few we awkward individuals enjoy hugs from. Otherwise, what an awkward situation, not a comforting one, to have someone's arms wrapped around you. Will this last for 3 seconds? 10 seconds? Oh gosh, you're crying? How about a high-five instead?

3. Well, we're human! Yeah, we catch feelings just like the rest of you. Admitting it? That's a slightly different story. Instead, we cringe at the thought of the serious talks to come.

4. Of course, there will come a time when we all meet someone who gets us to dig into that affection we don't typically put to use. The reaction of your friends overhearing you being affectionate to anyone will always be priceless. What better way to make a moment awkward than too be calle out for having feelings!

5. Walks in on someone crying.... and right back out. Surely walking out is better than patting them on the head like a dog right?

6. Seeing someone you know in public but not knowing what level of friendship you're on. Wave? No. Go talk to them? No. Ends up taking two steps toward them, one step back, a half wave, andddddd they miss the wave. Yep, now I'm the awkward girl waving at no one.

7. Goes in for a fist-bump. Nope, this is a handshake. Shit! Wait, is this a gang thing? Pinky promise? Damn, it's definitely thumb war.

8. Two Words: EYE CONTACT. One Word: NEVER

9. Talking boys with your mom: Who's the boy who liked your Instagram picture? So, that means you're dating right? "Talking"? What is talking? Damnit Mother, just damnit.

10. Thanksgiving. 'Nuff said.

Do you have a boyfriend? What are you going to do after college? Do you have job lined up for May? You're cousin is engaged, hopefully you're next!

Can I just wear a shirt that says YES I'm still single, NO I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, and NO I won't be engaged next because I'm too awkward to date.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
