Ive always lived by “fake it till you make it” because eventually it becomes true
you guys taught me that awkward does not have to be as scary as we’ve been made to believe. like it’s never ever been that deep! embrace it! play with it! make it yours bruh
I either start yapping to keep the conversation going or ask if anything's up if I feel like the person I'm talking to is pulling away. If it's none, just sit in the awkwardness 🧘♂️
as an awkward person i just start talking and say something funny if the the person is more shy than me
just start yodeling. great conversation starter. or start sobbing. great way to make up a story or to escape

well sometimes i do the worm, but most often i offer my opinions to what food i think they would be. i think hamzah is a tater tot and martin is a reese's potato chips big cup 🫂
i genuinely dont know but I usually say I'm cold and somehow go into the topic abt weather or just add humor to our conversation
acknowledging the awkwardness is the best thing you can do. acknowledge it with humor and playfulness, life is full of awkwardness but the best thing you can do is be prepared for it.
real af. everyone is scared of something so just be prepared and never doubt yourself.
I GREW UP WITH REALLY BAD ANXIETY, SO NOW I SEEK OUT AWKWARDNESS AS A SORT OF EXPOSURE THERAPY FOR MYSELF. I FULL SEND INTO CONVERSATIONS BEING COMPLETELY MYSELF NO MATTER THE FEAR I HAVE OF WHAT OTHERS WILL THINK OF ME. TURNS OUT THAT MOST OF THE TIME IT GOES PRETTY WELL, AND IF ITS AWKWARD I CAN HANDLE IT NOW. :)
When things get awkward, I lean in and acknowledge it with a bit of humor and curiosity. I'm not afraid to be vulnerable, believing that honesty builds trust. I hope this confidence, embracing the messiness, sets me apart. And if I have to I’m ready to "fake it till I make it"
