Some people are graced with the awkward gene, making everyday situations much more embarrassing and weird than they need to be. Words can be hard and you find yourself tripping over everything you say.
You can be klutzy, dropping and fumbling around objects as if you never used your hands before. Every interaction you have with other people is nerve-wracking because you never know how it's going to turn out. You just wish that you could be smooth and not struggle so much. Here are some moments and situations you run into when you are hopelessly awkward:
How you feel when someone asks how your day is going and you say, "Thank you!"
You can't even make small conversation without sounding weird.
That moment when you're spacing out and you realize that you're creepily staring at someone.
Time to "play it cool"—like you could even if you tried.
When you say something and you have no idea where it even came from or how it managed to slip out of your mouth.
Okay brain and mouth, let's work together here; it's a team effort.
When you think you know what you're doing or how to use something and someone corrects you.
Hahahahaha, yeah, no.
Something you hear at least once a month from other people.
Yup, everyone can stop bringing it up.
When you think you look great in photos, but it turns out you look like this.
Is being photogenic a thing? Wouldn't know.
When someone tells you a joke or story and you have no idea what to say or do.
Cue internal panic attack and forced laugh.
What you think when told "You're the cute kind of awkward."
Umm, thanks? Still awkward nonetheless.
Two words: Public speaking.
You'll do anything and everything to avoid it.
How you react when someone (anyone, actually) reaches out to touch you or is in your personal bubble.
You know that touching only exacerbates the awkwardness, so stay in your lane, people!
When dating comes up in conversation.
Couldn't have said it any better, Chandler.
How you react to basically everything that is going on around you.
Let's face it, being awkward just adds to the confusion and chaos that is life.
