Reaching Out To The Awkward People In The Room

We all know what it feels like to be awkward. It happens all the time. Sadly I’ve known it a lot more with all the moving I’ve done in my younger years. So as fellow awkward people, we can do small things to make others feel less left out.

They rarely want small talk

there is so much to talk about with them. I don’t care if it makes me nosey, but I will ask people about their lives. Especially, when I was a kid, they had just moved. Where did you come from? Why? What are things you like? We ain’t doing those awful networking get-to-know-you questions.

The friend/helper bypass

There seems to be thing we can do that will bypass us feeling awkward and not wanting to be seen. Most of us want to be helpful. Especially not want others for feel bad or sad being somewhere.

Create Your own little circle

this can actually be a great way to make friends. Not saying we need to be adding dozens more then what we already have. I’m not even saying be BFFs. They can just be people you can talk to in class. Be able to do projects with or touch base with at a networking event. There’s nothing wrong with knowing more people.
