I can’t think of a specific moment because I’m an endlessly awkward person. I think a lot of times when we’ve said the wrong thing upon meeting someone, or have a tendency to put our worst foot forward, we get too caught up in our own thoughts about it to recover. Let other people hold the awkward feelings for you, if they feel weird that’s their problem. But you don’t have to feel weird for trying to connect to others in your own way.

of course it’s real, but don’t allow awkwardness to rule you! take it on proudly and embrace the moment. if someone is put off by that, then they aren’t meant to take up space in your life :3 uncomfortable silence, cringe culture and awkward moments are so dead. Just Live Life <3

first thought of awkwardness, was of walking down the street and realising I was headed the wrong way. Happens to all of us, but I've embraced it as my brain being a silly human thing, and turn around, and hopefully go the right way! In dates? Idk, kiss 'em and you'll realise alot of things, although I quite like awkward pauses there. In meeting new people generally? There's a billion of them and more on Earth, and language differences are about to make everything way more awkward. Embrace it. It's fun.

I love going to the grocery store with friends. We can chat while we shop, and it feels less overwhelming. There are the days where it’s a whole trip and we get coffee and lunch and people watch, but there’s also the times after work where a friend will stop by and we will both need things from the store, so we just both go and get the few things we need and then go home. Maybe 20 minutes of time hanging out but feels very worthwhile.

I think it’s more normal than never wearing the same thing twice. It shows your personal sense of style and if you’re comfortable then you’re going to look better anyway. I also think with online culture now is the first time ever people would consider it weird to be caught on film in the same outfit multiple times. Plus if it’s a good fit then it’d be a shame to not let people see it often.

Get them tickets to their favorite band or take them to dinner, anything that can just be a memory.
