Very informative post Vinay. The above are some of the causes for a person to feel awkward in a social gathering and sometimes it is also due to a person’s Ego (he/she considers the gathering below their class). It could also turn awkward when expectations are not met.

The closing tip is very strong, I like it and I agree that we do not just have to know these things, we have to practice them, I am a shy person and I think it hinders me towards success. So, even if it is hard, I have to overcome feeling awkward in dealing with other people.

I recently was feeling very socially awkward at a night group trek… I was not happy alone and could feel the isolation even the dog ignored me… so I was ignored in the crowd… then I just went ahead trekking and that had a combined vibe, people were cooperative, they were not making me feel odd and I caught on few people who were going solo like me. Ofcourse when your with nature, you are all complete and don’t need anything else… it helps if you strike a conversation one on one basis, afterall most of the adults are nice guys, willing to listen to you… also gell in just stay near and appear comfortable, at first it is hard later you get into the group and they notice you… always be fun, smart and feel confident… it so happened that being single a guy too hit on me(: … so it is important to be confident and be near a group rather than isolated… about the young guy, he is still after me asking me out on treks, I had to tell him I am a trekker not a romantic, even if I was alone I did not need anyone, I could manage and yeah he should well not trouble me… nice guy he not flirting with me often, I guess just playfull… so yes it just takes guts… not to worry. anyway I myself needed these tips… I think people ignored me because well I was not appearing like I needed attention(: … maybe I appeared at ease(:

Very useful tips indeed and I wonder how much you’ve studied the behaviour of social animals like us for writing in this way! Kudos to you… :-)

How many times I have felt like a fish out of water…claustrophobic and all at sea, ready to make a quick exit and yet unable to do so. Even the somewhat familiar faces seem strangers at that moment..hope your tips will work out fine for me the next time around. Great post !
