AWKWARD: Sunday 14th

Just wanted to dedicate a post on some of those awkward moments in life:
  • Walking into someone after doing the thing we're you both move in the same direction to try and go around someone. *Helpful tips: walk straight forward and have the whole i-don't-move-for-no-one body language, but if your a wuss like me, move to the left and keep walking straight and if something goes wrong hopefully you can just smile it off.
  • Doing a similar thing to a car when your crossing the road, though I don't recommend you depend too much on bluff and keep walking ahead. I doubt you could really smile it off if anything went wrong. But if the drivers waving like mad for you to hurry up and cross the road, I recommend you do that, fast.
  • When you see someone you know but don't really know know (i think i've said this before) in a public place *Helpful tips: if its in somewhere you might see them again, risk being rejected and say Hi or smile or something because everytime you run away from them, it gets more and more awkward. Besides, if you get rejected its not your fault (yes, this is what I tell myself) whats really bad is if your not sure if they can hear you and you have to risk getting rejected twice and looking desperate while the awkwardness thrives to a new level.
  • The aftermath of forgetting someones name, obviously i'm not cool enough to know enough people to afford forgetting any names but I can imagine it being quite awkward.
  • And last but definitely not least- The Awkward Silence. The worst ones being the ones after a desperate attempt at conversation. The coincidental ones at noisy places where everyone just happens to stop talking are NOT awkward silences, and it is NOT funny when someone says "AWKWARD!" or worse still, "I just broke the awkward silence"
Thanks for reading
