You’re not human if you say you’ve never had to deal with experiencing an awkward social moment in your life. I mean, it happens and it’s LIFE! Sometimes you have to laugh off those awkward moments and other times you just have to pray to the awkward moment gods that it won’t happen to you again. Either way, you’re not alone. We all experience awkward moments! Listed below are 26 awkward social moments I guarantee you’ll relate to :).

 

1. Waving at someone who wasn’t waving at you

 

2. Eating without friends so you appear to be busy

 

3. Speaking to your crush

 

4. When you’re the only one that finds your joke funny

 

5. When your stomach growls obnoxiously loud mid-conversation with someone

 

6. Doing the #2 in a public restroom

 

7. Falling in public

 

8. Pulling a door that says “push”

 

9. Laughing too loudly in public

 

10. When you’re speaking but no one is paying attention

 

11. When you accidentally spit on someone

 

12. When you’re talking to someone and they have bad breath but you can’t seem to tell them

 

13. Being on the phone with a relative you never talk to

 

14. Not hearing what someone says but pretending you did

 

15. Trying a friend’s cooked food and pretending it isn’t disgusting

 

16. When your friends talk about an outing they went on without you… in front of you

 

17. Sending the wrong text to someone

 

18. Accidentally liking someone’s picture on IG from months ago

 

19. Holding out your arms to hug someone but they havent’t acknowledged you yet

 

20. When a friend asks if their hair looks good… and it doesn’t

 

21. Farting in a quiet place full of people 

 

22. Someone calls you the wrong name but you answer to it anyway

 

23. When a couple argues in front of you

 

24. When one of your friends is walking towards you and you try not to make eye contact until they get close.

 

25. Forgetting what you have to say mid-sentence

 

26. When you’re being weird in front of people and your friends tell you you’re being weird in front of those people

 

Remember, we ALL can be socially awkward. Just laugh it off and take it in stride!
