About this listen
I think the better question is who can’t relate? We are built with awkwardness as an internal warning system to tell us when something isn’t right, but that system can make us feel awkward whenever it wants.
In this episode, we talk about why we experience awkwardness, experiences that cause it, and what we can do about it.

Outside Quotes:
- "The awkwardness is likely fueled in part by your perception of how it's supposed to go and what's actually happening, rather than [an actual] problem.” - Bethany Teachman, a professor in the University of Virginia's Department of Psychology
