This is the 11 steps to be awkward 😄😛😳😜

1Don't pay very close attention to anything happening around you. Then, when someone tries to engage you in conversation, you will be completely off-guard and unprepared to talk to them. If you didn't even realize they were sitting next to you for the last half hour, it is even more awkward.

2😳

Construct elaborate fantasies in your mind at all times. They can vary from fighting dragons to what you're going to tell your coworker about which tea you prefer, leading to everyone in the office having a dance party in a submarine. These fantasies will greatly aid you during the previous step.

3😨

Don't think very hard about the status of your clothing throughout the day. If you realize your shirt hasn't been tucked in and your colorful underwear is poking up from your pants instead, that's pretty awkward. It's unlikely anyone will tell you anything about it, because you'll likely spin around and give them a wild look when approached.

😱

4

Propose ludicrous suggestions to your friends and those around you with no provocation. Such as, "What if we all took off our shoes and put them in a pile right over there, just for about twenty or thirty minutes." Do not offer explanations. End all of your ideas abruptly, without seeking input from your listener. A few moments after your proposal, regardless of the reaction it received, cease paying attention. You could also possibly walk away, though that verges more on being rude than being awkward.

5😂

During long silences, say a single word in a very drawn-out way using a high pitched voice. Think of how "Gatorade" is said in the movie The Water Boy. It can be any word. Do not laugh.

6😩

Laugh randomly. Not too loudly, though. A little nervous laugh should suffice.

7😰

Take a long time to do simple tasks when everyone is watching. Be sure to show a lot of effort on your face and apologize for taking so long. Then mess up and start over. Be on the verge of tears.

8😪

When you play sports, fall often. Send the ball in the wrong direction. Begin to cry with frustration after ten or fifteen minutes of constant failure.

9😬

If you are with a friend and something fairly ordinary comes on the TV, say, "Oooh, yeaaaaah," as though it is really sexy. When your friend looks at you like you're an idiot, look guilty. Say nothing. Let the silence build.

10😕

Apologize too often.

11😵😲

Get tangled in things. Alternatively, trip over things. Or bump into stationary objects like file cabinets or poles. It's important not to look as though you have done so intentionally. Repeating step 1 and 2 should help you with this.

ENJOY ❗️❗️
