This is a community for everyone who's just a bit awkward. This is a place where you can share your experiences with others who are also awkward. If you often ask yourself "Oh god, did I really just say that?" or if you find yourself constantly in peculiar situations, then this is the place for you. I feel that we will all find solace in knowing we aren't alone. It's important to be able to laugh at yourself. Having a sunny disposition can make social awkwardness entertaining for everyone.




If you're under the age of 21, this community probably isn't for you.



Here is an example of a good awkward story by [info]thestace:


Years ago my friends and I were heading to the beach for a day trip. Early in the morning.

Along the way we had to make a pee stop. The only gas station that we could find open had port-a-potties. The day before it had rained a lot and the ground was still muddy.

In front of the potty was a wide puddle of mud. I watch my friend go into the port-a-potty. She steps in the puddle, thinking she couldn't span it. While she's going I'm thinking about not wanting to step in that puddle so I decide I'm going to jump it but this means that I jump from the ground right into the port-a-potty.

I easy spanned the puddle but what I forgot to consider was that everyone who used the potty before me had stepped into the puddle so it was a wee wet inside. As soon as my foot hit the inside of the potty, I slipped backwards landing butt down in the middle of the puddle. Mud, yuck is all over me and my clothes. Slick, no? It gets better.

Asked my friend if she would mind getting a change of clothes from the car for me. Wanting to be ever so efficient I decide to undress before peeing thinking I have to take my pants down anyway. So I end up stripping down completely. I was, covered in all sorts of mud, down to my underwear so that came off as well.

Right as I take off the last bit of clothing, a stiff breeze comes along and throws open the potty door which proceeds to slam loudly on the dumpster next to it. So loudly that everyone at the gas station turned to look. And what do they see? Me. Completely naked! The friend going to the car was laughing so hard she fell to the ground.

I tried to reach out to pull the door back but the wind was fighting me so I ended up having to hop out -- that's right, still naked -- to pull the door back. And of course, while doing so, I ended up stepping in the puddle.



This needs no explanation as to why it's a good story. It's amusing and awkward all at the same time.



Here is an example of a bad awkward story:


My 15 year old boyfriend and I were totally going to have the sex and then I farted! But it was cool cuz we laughed and then did it anyhow, but boy was I embarrassed, LOLZ!!!

This isn't even remotely amusing. Everyone farts and many people have sex with their partners every day.



Great stories for this community should make you feel awkward and uncomfortable (in a 'thank god that didn't happen to me' way) by just by reading them.


We ask that you put some consideration into your story before posting. If your story is more stupid than awkward it may get deleted. If your entry magically disappears, try not to take offense. There are a lot of people in this community now and we don't want to take away from the truly brilliant entries.

Still not sure if your story would fit in here? Here's a few tips; you are probably in the wrong place if:

1. Your story starts with the phrase: This probably isn't that awkward but.. or: I'm generally not a very awkward person but...

2. Your story involves some sort of awkward yet electrifying touch by or of the object of your affection.

3. Your story has to do with the high school that you're STILL ATTENDING. High school, by definition, is awkward. That doesn't mean it is funny or amusing.

4. Your story is just a way of saying, "OMG I'M 15 AND I TOTALLY HAVE 'THE SEX'!"

5. You are morally opposed to utilizing the spell check option.

6. You feel compelled to mention what "really good friends" or "how super duper close" you are with the object of your affection.

7. Your story has to do with something that happened online. I'm sure there could be awkward moments online, but is it really that bad if you can just log-off? Not really. I like in-your-face-awkward. So if your story happened online it better be really awkward.

8. You are looking to spam. We've had to ban someone already so please don't. It's just another thing that takes away from the experience of this community.
