Awkward moments in public are basically a universal experience   and honestly, they’re kind of an art form. Whether it’s waving back at someone who wasn’t actually waving at you, or accidentally calling your teacher “Mom,” awkwardness sneaks up on all of us. But instead of hiding from these cringe-worthy situations, why not embrace them  After all, everyone has those moments, and they’re what make us human (and pretty memorable).

The key to mastering public awkwardness is confidence (or at least pretending you have it). Laugh it off, make a silly joke, or just own the weird moment with a smile. Bonus tip  awkward stories make the best icebreakers. So next time you trip over your words or spill coffee on yourself, remember   you’re not alone. You’re just practicing the fine art of being charmingly awkward. Shutdown123
