Have you ever said goodbye to someone, only to discover that you're
both walking in the same direction? Or had your next thought fly
out of your brain in the middle of a presentation? Or accidentally
liked an old photo on someone's Instagram or Facebook, thus
revealing yourself to be a creepy social media stalker? Melissa
Dahl, New York magazine's "Science of Us" editor, has experienced
all of those awkward situations, and many more. Now she offers a
thoughtful, original take on what it really means to feel awkward.
She invites you to follow her into all sorts of mortifying moments,
drawing on personal experience and in-depth psychological research
to answer questions you've probably pondered at some point, such
as: * Why are situations without clear rules most likely to turn
awkward? * Are people really judging us as harshly as we think they
are? * Does anyone ever truly outgrow their awkward teenage self?
If you can learn to tolerate life's most awkward situations --
networking, difficult conversations, hearing the sound of your own
terrible voice -- your awkwardness can be a secret weapon to making
better, more memorable impressions. When everyone else is
pretending to have it under control, you can be a little braver and
grow a little bigger.
