That uncomfortable feeling of social awkwardness is something we all experience from time to time. While mostly harmless, it can sometimes trigger stress or anxiety. But here’s the good news there’s nothing wrong with being socially awkward or finding yourself in an awkward situation. Some experts suggest thinking of it as a signal from your brain, letting you know that social interaction isn’t going the way you expected. Instead of seeing it as a flaw, it can be a reminder to embrace the unpredictability of human connections.
