Awkward

Seth Godin made me think why I had to entertain the thought of feeling "awkward".  I had been into this.  Basically, a slip of the tongue or the spur of the moment normally causes that feeling to trigger.  "Awkward" is something that goes beyond the normal, isn’t it?  You might wonder why I am bothered by the word "awkward".  I am dealing with it on a constructive and positive way so I could gauge the extent of the effect and the possible counterdefense to overcome that feeling.

Normally, I walked away from that situation or the person that had made me feel "awkward" and spend a couple of time thinking why I have said it or have done that… or why, in the first place, do I have to feel that way and begin to doubt and question even the way I’m feeling… despite the simplicity of the event that triggered it.

"Why you didn’t say or do them but wish you had or maybe are glad you didn’t."

 

Awkward is something I wouldn’t want to feel towards other people or other people to feel towards me.  It’s not about putting malice of someone or of something.  I guess there’s just something within myself that has to be dealt upon or acknowledge that for quite some time I am not at ease or not willing to deal.

If it’s what that would make me feel at ease with myself… there ain’t no reason but to deal with it…
