Awkward...

So many times we have these moments where one word, said in a drawn out high pitched tone, "Awwwkwaaard...."
I personally hate these uncomfortable situations. I do anything to avoid them, dread the inevitable ones and when they happen I hastily attempt to end them and generally, this causes more discomfort. Awkward greetings with those you know somewhat well, but not well enough to have a good full conversation with. That repetitive question that I am asked every time someone realizes or discovers I am a senior in high school... "Have you made your decision yet?" Every time I have to answer with the long answer of my four possible schools, why I haven't made my decision, when I will make my decision, What is my top choice. Why is it my top choice. Then there are those awkward situations that come up out of the blue. Something unexpected is said and you have no response. The way people feel is contradicting. I get uncomfortable just thinking about possible situations. Maybe just getting out of my comfort zone more and more I'll eventually become immune to the discomfort of awkward situations. Or perhaps it is just a personality quirk I'll have to suck it up and live with, or embrace even. Just a quick thought on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas readers. Thanks for reading.
