Since we’re on the topic of awkwardness, let’s begin with conversations. We’ve all been through those uneasy discussions that involved a lot of silence, making you want to escape to the nearest exit.
However, you don’t always have to run and hide. Writer and mental health researcher Arlin Cuncic, MA, advises finding the humor in the situation, much like these memes and posts.
In an article for VeryWellMind, she wrote, “Keeping the mood light will help to break the ice and move the conversation forward.”

Here’s the situation: you’re in an elevator with a co-worker, and they begin some small talk. As someone who isn’t a fan of these chitchats, you start feeling like the walls are closing in. What do you do?
Cuncic advises having open-ended “go-to questions” you can pull out of your pocket when the need arises. One example could be, “What have you been up to?” It shifts the spotlight onto them.

Technically, hyenas are actually part of the felidae family, making it closer to getting a new kitten than a new puppy. A friend of mine told me this years ago, and I absolutely didn't believe it at first. But sure enough, it's the case.
Small talk with a stranger is an entirely different ballgame. You don’t have anything in common with the other person and know nothing about them, which leaves you with mundane, cliché topics like the weather.
In such cases, Cuncic offers two options: giving a genuine compliment or keeping quiet. You can try the former, but chances are the other person is likely not in the mood for small talk anyway. Feel out the situation and see what works best.
Awkward situations come in many forms. Sometimes, it happens during family gatherings with your in-laws. In this case, you should step aside. According to educator and etiquette expert Sara Jane Ho, you’re better off letting your partner handle things.
“If you want to piss off your in-laws, let your spouse do it, not you,” Ho told CNBC.
There are times when someone’s name just slips our minds, and that could be another embarrassing moment. However, you wouldn’t want to come off as rude by doubling down and saying you forgot who they are.
Ho recommends a smoother approach. Say you’d like to keep in touch, then have them input their social media handle or personal number into your phone.

And if they're anything like me they'll still wake in the middle of the night, think of this and cringe again for the next twenty years.
Let’s switch the conversation to you. How do you handle awkward situations? Do you run from them, or do you face them head-on? Let yourself be heard in the comments!

Feet, carts, horses and at most cows on one, built into softer ground so the stones could move and the sand could take the impact of the weight - other side trucks, cars the weight of baby elephants, non-stop, and a surface that does allow for way faster travel while at the same time not quite as good at dealing with the heavy and fast impacts... do you wanna go back to walking twenty miles into town?

My cousin LOVED chocolate chip cookies as a toddler. My mom taught her that they were called sh!t. Uncle & aunt & cousin at fancy restaurant for anniversary. Waiters and waitresses ohhing and aching over cousin (blond curly hair, bright blue eyes, adorable). Time for dessert. When asked what she wanted, cousin sweetly says "Sh!t, please." Aunt mortified, Uncle calls my mom long distance from a payphone. "Truce, truce!". He had taught my sister to say "Damnit!" when someone told her no, or she didn't get her way. I can only imagine what he would have taught me!

There's no timestamps on the original texts. So do you think he quickly photoshopped this image after the girl guessed lion, or he just had a bunch of premade images with different animals standing by and just had to post the appropriate one?

I know it's just a joke, but I took the time to think about it and it's fairly simple. It would have been hard for our ancestors to miss the fact that new mothers produce milk. Observing the animals around them would've informed them that other mammals do that, too. You can even come up with a tragic story of a mother dying in childbirth, and her tribe going "Whaddowedo?" and catching a goat with a kid.

When people start removing user reviews it is simply because they don't want you to be able to chose what you want to watch. Same with the new search system of Youtube. It is the advertisers that matter most. If a person can pick the videos Then how in the hell can the ad agencies BE SURE the underage kids will watch Logan Paul promoting bitcoin gambling to them?

Figured out I'm getting older. Left a full shift at 830 pm, intending to drive 14 hrs to N Car. Got as far as S WV, needed a cat nap. Something about seeing the sun again without sleep does it every time.
