How to be Awkward
Many people, waking up one day decide to change something in themselves. At the beginning not sure what. Change something in the look? Start to do Yoga? Healthy food? There are many options, and I decided to introduce you to one. Being Awkward.
It might seem that it's quite easy. But is it really? ... I don't think so.
How to be Awkward
Step #1: YOUR music
Start to listen what you REALLY like. We all know that sometimes we listen to songs just because they happen to be "on top", and friends still post lyrics from these popular songs. STOP! Search something what you like, share it. You can even write that this is the best music in the world. And if someone asks you, "Hey, have you heard the new Ariana Grande's song?" answer "No" with dispassionate voice. Show publicly what music you really like.
Step # 2: Eye Contact
Eye contact is very important in conversations with people. However, if you want to be Awkward you have two options. First: during the conversation look at EVERYTHING around you, except people you are talking to. And then when you're explaining something to a person, it will look like you're talking to a wall. Second: look straight in the eyes. Try to blink as little as possible. Make the person feel a little uncomfortable. If you want to see how it looks in practice, I recommend Laina aka.

Step #3: Laugh
Try to laugh at things that seem to be not funny. Laugh so that everyone can hear it. And when something really funny comes, laugh out loud and long. Sometimes you can even not laugh at all. While everyone around laughing at great joke, you just sit with motionless face.
Step #4: Social Media
Use social media once a week or less. This is weird, huh? Stop making selfies and post them with all those hashtags. Take a normal photo, occasionally! (I guess that this step is one of the most difficult). Alternative
would be to use these sites, but then post things you really like and hate publicly what you really hate.
Step # 5: Intelligent conversation
Talk to yourself. Not only at home, also in public places. If you are not quite ready for it, at the beginning you can have a conversation only in your head, but at the same time gesticulate and use facial expressions, as in any normal conversation. Sometimes we need to talk to someone intelligent.
Step # 6: Dance
Find your own ORIGINAL style. And present it at parties. Go to the middle of the dance floor and show how white you are ... or, I mean, just show what you can do with yo body.
Step # 7: The last, very important step.
Be a little more yourself than normal. Do what you like, don't do what you don't like, without paying attention on what others say/think about it. It's hard, I know. But more and more often being awkward it's almost the same thing as being yourself.
I hope I helped, and that the next time you wake up in the morning, with the desire to change, you will use my advice.
And if you have any tips or you would like to add something, don't be shy. Go ahead, write something. Anything.
