Awkward social situations? Are you kidding. I'm the queen of awkward. I sometimes can't remember close family members names when I get nervous and have to introduce them to someone new. Or...I'll call someone's new boyfriend or girlfriend the name of the OLD boyfriend or girlfriend...That's embarrassing! The good thing, ( I guess?) is that I'm not alone. A new study found that the average person deals with 84 awkward social situations a year. The MOST awkward one is having to introduce someone when you can't remember their name. That's Me! See if you've experienced any of the top situations:

  • Bumping into someone you don't like.
  • Being interviewed for a new job.
  • Meeting someone who used to date the person you're currently wiith.
  • Networking for your job.
  • Meeting the parents for the first time.
  • Going on a date.
  • Talking to someone you're attracted to.
  • Meeting up with someone you met online.
  • Greeting a room full of people. It's not clear if it's walking into a room full of people or if you have to meet and exchange names and a bunch of people at once.
  • Bumping into an ex unexpectedly.
  • Meeting your idol celebrity.
  • Dancing with someone.
  • A first kiss.
  • Standing up in a packed train or bus.
  • Being told you have something in your teeth.

Can you add anything to the list?

My personal awkward list:

  • Singing at a show and forgetting the lyrics, unable to recover. (Thank God I've never messed up the National Anthem.
  • Using your ex's name when talking to your current significant other.
  • Watching someone else have an awkward moment.
  • Sending a text to the wrong person.
