That's Awkward!

[CadmarLegend]

Give me your most awkward moments. Ever.




Me: The "Talk" with my parents.... *shivers* I– I actually thought about burying myself at that moment.....

Haha... No.

I was griping to a guy friend i was super close with about my ex. And he was like “you need someone good in your life, someone like me”

and then he proceeded to spend an hour trying to convince me to date him... despite knowing that i‘m a lesbian XP

So yeah... that day was weird, i didn‘t hang out with him much after that. We’re still friends though. Just not as close as we used to be.

I don’t get into awkward situations very much because I don’t talk to people.

But, there was one time in the second grade when we were in recess. We brought out our lunch boxes because recess was a part of lunch, and we would store our lunch boxes according to class. I saw a lunchbox and said,”hey isn’t that XXX’s lunch box, what is it doing over there?” It turned out that it was a lunch box with the same design. My kid brain responded with something like, “Y-yeah, of course I knew that. It was just a joke!” But it wasn’t actually that awkward or embarrassing because my attention span wasn’t good enough to linger on that topic or something.

There was this other time in the seventh grade where I was in gym class and I threw a basketball and it almost smashed into some other kid’s face. Keyword: Almost. What happened instead was that it only grazed his hair because he had bent down to tie his shoes or something. This one wasn’t that awkward either after the initial shock because he didn’t actually get hurt and I wasn’t really close to the guy so I didn’t care about him.

There was this other time, also in the seventh grade. I commuted to school on a private bus thing, the driver was like 45 min late or something so I texted the driver saying, “Hey it’s Napelynn, are you still coming or should I get my parents to drive me to school” The driver later responded only after they had arrived and brought me to school. This was really annoying, but it happened over text so I still didn’t really care that much.

Other than those inconsequential events, I’ve been in a lot of awkward silences. But I thrive in those, so it’s not really awkward for me, but it probably is for the other people around me.

The "talk" with my parents after they caught me jacking off. I don't remember much of it, though, and that's probably a good thing.

huh, it's kinda similar to my situation.

except that I'm a guy and there's this boy that confessed to me because my face looks like a "bottom" gay.

it's really awkward trying to convince that i didn't swing that way to someone who's apparently hiding that he's a gay.

i wish thing could work like this to me tbh, most people often try to talk to me even though i don't want to talk with any of them. sigh.

Me farting as I talking to my friends and stopping for a while. The good things are that they never acknowledge it afterwards. Because of that, if their stomach growl or they farted too, I also pretend nothing happen.

It's small things like this that I like because it shows that you can trust your friends that they won't be embarrassing you in front of unfamiliar people. (Some assholes do)

Hmmmmmmmm. I will not answer for my own pride

Probably when my best friend's ex-wife accused my of flirting with her, among other things. My best friend was my first boyfriend before she transitioned, but the thing is I'm not attracted to women, so . . . yeah. That shit happened sometime in 2018 before I got married.

long ancient times ago when i was a wee little lass. me and my sibling at a discount store. my sibling wanted to point something out and led me to that spot. the aisle had a bunch of things on the floor - it looked like someone before us had pushed bunch things and it was mess. it was not us, but an old lady saw us and told us our mother would be ashamed of us and we should be ashamed of ourselves. i think it doesn't help that picked something up to see what was it that was a mess on the aisle when she saw us.

 

[LimitBound]

Yeah, no.

Why do I always mix up you with Aki

I've never been prone to feeling awkward. Nor even really embarrassed. I mean I can tell when I should be awkward or embarrassed, but I've just never really been one to care how others perceived me in any given social situation. I was this way even as a small child. I had things I liked and disliked, and I was never shy in expressing this. My teachers when I was a small kid initially thought I had some kind of "supernatural aura" because I could literally "divide a room". Meaning, I had one half of the room loving me like a celebrity practically, and the other spitting on the floor as I walked by. Hence why I have great friends and great enemies, and nothing in between. People either really like me, or really hate me. I do mean this in person btw, not online. I'm sure that doesn't say particularly great things about me as a person, but at least I'm almost always sure where I stand with the people around me, relationship-wise.

Though since I don't particularly spend much time socializing anymore, due to my own growing dislike of pretty much anyone except for my thankfully small friend circle, (I have little contact with any of my family, not even my siblings), I suppose a lot of this is irrelevant in my day to day situation. Especially work.

People say they wish they didn't care what others thought, but I have to say, its not as "free" as it sounds. It's best to try and be somewhat conscious of others' opinions about you. I'm not saying act and respond to them, but be wary and pay attention even if you don't actually change anything about yourself to fit them.

We had a test, and as you can imagine, the whole class was supper silent - only my stomach wouldn't stop rumbling...I felt like a one-man orchestra.

A retrospectively awkward situation was when I came back home and found out my pants were ripped.

I won't count the number of awkward silences. The times when everyone is laughing, while I don't get the joke. Or when I run to stop someone only to find out, they are not the person I thought they were.

Oh, once I had to tell a teacher in uni that I don't know her name. I had to collect her signature. Apparently, I was supposed to fill in the details so that she can sign directly. When she asked me to do it, I had no idea what is her name. I had a class with her every week for a year. I just don't pay attention to mundane things like names.

There were two most awkward things that happened in my life(as of now).

One was what I submitted here about being misunderstood as a girl on an online game and the other was a girl actually and I mean actually hinting me to go out on a date with her.

Since I already talked about the former, lemme talk about the latter.

I think it was in HS and I was really awkward with people. There's this girl who was into me at that time but I wasn't dense or anything but even more difficult to talk to. Like, I really wanted to be alone and all. She was really giving me signals not even a dense protagonist could misunderstands but I was just too afraid of having a conversation that I just basically smiled and ignore her. She wasn't ugly or anything, hell, call her cute if you want but my communication skill was so negative that most of our convo were so awkward, suicide has more in depth with conversation that what I'm currently at. I was even so awkward that I basically helped some other guy out to ask her out just so I could be left alone.
