Initially I used to find it very awkward when people used to turn back and stare, but now I am used to it and love all the attention.
I didn’t realize I was in an awkward phase when I was in an awkward phase. It was when I was between the ages of 9 and 11. I was homeschooled. Everything I wore was pink and sparkly. And I had an obsession with headbands. I felt like I rocked them, though!
If you take ‘Cheers’ and ‘Seinfeld’ and watch the early shows, they’re kind of awkward. It took a while for the writers and everything to gel.
I’m socially awkward in life, and that’s one of the reasons why I do what I do. I’m more about interpreting other people’s words.
A new constitution should be more amendable. A needlessly confusing system of courts should be altered to produce an arrangement that would be simple, responsible, and less awkward.
Plots may be simple or complex, but suspense, and climactic progress from one incident to another, are essential. Every incident in a fictional work should have some bearing on the climax or denouement, and any denouement which is not the inevitable result of the preceding incidents is awkward and unliterary.
Though the S8, like all premium Samsung phones, runs Android with the basic Google suite of apps, Samsung keeps trying to duplicate Android functions with its own software. It wants to be a software platform like its rival Apple, but it uses someone else’s operating system and core apps. Awkward.
For generations, minor-league baseball has been seen as the scrappier, sometimes seedier, counterpart to its big-league sibling. Games are often cloaked in strange and sometimes awkward theme nights. Some of the mascots are ragged or downright bizarre. The ballparks are smaller and filled with fewer fans.
For many an awkward, pigeonholed high school kid, the first day on campus is a chance to re-introduce themselves to the world. In most cases, this is an unfortunate occasion.
I tend to be sort of quiet and shy and awkward in social situations.
I’ve always felt myself to be an outsider. I’ve always felt awkward.
Kids don’t like what they don’t understand, and judo was always my social outlet. I always felt really socially awkward, and I couldn’t speak very well when I was younger. When I was doing judo, it was something that I could understand and someplace where I felt that I belonged and fit in.
Introductions are always weird for me because my name is Hari and it’s constantly mispronounced . ‘Hurry’, ‘Hairy’ – there are different ways to screw it up, and it leads to these awkward conversations.
I wasn’t always this confident. Growing up as the awkward gay kid in a small town in Pennsylvania, you’re constantly told, ‘Don’t be yourself, don’t be proud of who you are.’
Intimate scenes are always super awkward – and that is the truth. I know everybody says it, but it really is true.
I was born in South Africa during apartheid, a system of laws that made it illegal for people to mix in South Africa. And this was obviously awkward because I grew up in a mixed family. My mother’s a black woman, South African Xhosa woman… and my father’s Swiss, from Switzerland.
Not all detectives are the same – some play bad cop, some are awkward, some are funny.
I think that it’s awkward watching a video with your mom, particularly when you’re making out with a girl or a sexy scene. I would rather be away from that!
I am very bad at taking compliments. Even in school, when people told me that I look good, I could just manage an awkward thank you and a smile.
I avoid clients for whom advertising is only a marginal factor in their marketing mix. They have an awkward tendency to raid their advertising appropriations whenever they need cash for other purposes.
I was embarrassed to be seen in my football tracksuit because they knew I’d been training. I used to cross the road to avoid people. It was really hard. There were so many awkward situations. I just hope young girls now are able to play football and not have to experience what I did.
If you agree to do a sex scene, you have to be willing to not be awkward about it. C’mon! I don’t think of it as anything other than a dance, really. I don’t see that person. I don’t think of me being me.
When it comes to music, movies, literature, paintings, and even Bikram yoga, it’s pretty easy to have an opinion about whether something has been copied. Software, on the other hand, was an awkward late addition to the original Copyright Act of 1976, shoehorned into section 102(a) as a ‘literary work.’
It’s very awkward to watch yourself on TV because I hate the sound of my voice. It’s those moments where you’re like, ‘I do that?’
My awkward phase can be summed up in three words: Clear. Braces. College.
I kind of do this awkward body language because, growing up, I had a really hard time expressing myself vocally.
I don’t win anything in life, you know what I mean? I was, like, the awkward kid who didn’t go to prom, but I did – nobody noticed, though.
I think when somebody’s painting they don’t necessarily… I’m not illustrating what I know. I’m mapping out, like topographically, some terrain I am satisfied with, how awkward that mark is.
Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that. Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason.
It’s often the case that the most strained moments in books are the very beginning and the very end – the getting in and the getting out. The ending, especially: it’s awkward, as if the writer doesn’t know when the book is over and nervously says it all again.
And I know the risks of changing captaincy midway through a season. At Derby, it was a great compliment when Paul Jewell handed me the armband, and I was made captain of my fourth Premier League club, but it was awkward for Matt Oakley, who had it taken away from him.
Taught by actor parents never to leave an awkward gap in the conversation I gabble out unsolicited responses to fill the voids.
Turing was fearless. He’s extremely direct, which can be seen as socially awkward, and that becomes both his big obstacle but also, in many ways, his strength.
I’m really awkward when people recognize me. I’m not good at it, and for the most part it hadn’t happened to me until ‘True Blood,’ and then, all of a sudden, it started happening all the time.
It’s awkward to tell others that your spouse has died. Everyone becomes so sad and sorry, and you just hate like heck to have to break the news to someone who hasn’t heard the news.
I feel like I’m nothing without wildlife. They are the stars. I feel awkward without them.
If something awkward happens, laugh. I don’t think I’ve ever dated a guy who couldn’t laugh – even in bed, during intimate times.
I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It’s how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.
I am very shy with people I don’t know. I’m positively awkward.
Order is never observed; it is disorder that attracts attention because it is awkward and intrusive.
My life is an awkward visit from the kids table.
I do not understand why we are not raised to celebrate our bodies as children. Why we are told to be shy or awkward or self-conscious.
You see, I remember myself as a tall, lanky, awkward college fellow who was cast in school theatricals, on the strength of his height alone.
I never felt comfortable in real life very well. It’s always been an awkward kind of thing for me and so when I hit the stage I just sensed freedom. I sensed, ‘Here’s a place that I can have all the experiences of life and not feel uncomfortable about it.’
I’ve always been a square, a nerd. Kind of odd, kind of awkward. I still am to this day. People just think I’m a lot cooler ’cause I play football.
I haven’t had a super awkward moment. I can’t think of one.
I’m not that good looking. That’s why ‘Gangnam Style’ works. If someone handsome uses that phrase it’s just awkward. But if someone like me uses it, it’s funny.
Everyone has their awkward phase. I think everything passes, and that is key to remember – none of us looked like this when we were younger… Everybody grows into themselves, and you learn about yourself.
