An awkward situation arises only because by any of your actions you violate the norms of behavior accepted in society, and you violate it completely by accident. And now your task is to get back on track of communication with minimal losses for nerves and reputation.
Instructions
Step 1
The main rule for getting out of an awkward situation is humor. An awkward situation needs to be ridiculed, turned so that it plays in your favor. Sometimes it is difficult to imagine, in fact, everything is quite simple. Did you accidentally spill coffee on your white blouse in front of everyone? “I never liked her anyway” - it's so easy to laugh it off and not feel embarrassed! Or maybe in transport you wanted to give way to a girl because she was pregnant, but it turned out that she was just plump. Say that today you forgot your glasses at home and did not see what kind of girl is really slim and beautiful, and still give her a seat.
Step 2
The second rule is to never run away from an awkward situation by closing your eyes. You didn't have enough money to pay at the checkout in the store? So tell the cashier, ask to leave the items that you least need, apologize, say that you incorrectly rated the contents of the wallet. Pay for what you have and the awkward situation is defeated. Or maybe you made a mistake and greeted a complete stranger cheerfully. Don't run away right away, ask for forgiveness, tell him you made a mistake and wish him a good day. At the same time, you will cheer up the other person.
Step 3
True, there are situations in which neither a joke nor an apology will help. Let's say you sit on a painted bench. Now, in any case, you have to get to the striped house. However, do not forget that passers-by on the street, even if they look sideways at you and grin, see you for the first and last time. You will never meet with them again, and there is no point in worrying about what happened.
Step 4
Most importantly, remember that everyone gets into awkward situations throughout their lives. Even if your cheeks are burning with shame and you do not know what to do with yourself, do not forget that this situation will be forgotten in the very near future. Well, perhaps you will be reminded from time to time. If those around you do not have enough tact and common sense to soon forget about the embarrassment, and they will constantly remind you of it, then perhaps you should change the team, since this one is not too adequate.
