Example of masterfully written awkward moments:

In Starter Villain (by John Scalzi), there's a scene at the beginning where the MC tries to get a bank loan, which gets more and more awkward until they're talking about the wedding gift sent by his rich uncle . . .

Scalzi is the master of snarky dialogue, but this is less snarky and more, well, awkward. Intentionally so.

WPW: shoutout to all of my dancer friends who are lowkey awkward like me: At a party last year my brother asked why I wasn’t out on the dance floor because I could “blow everyone away” ummmmmm bc in a situation like that I’m awkward af and imma just throw some finger guns at you and do some of those angled arm shuffle things and call it a day lmaooooo #awkward #awkwardmoments #dancer #poledancer #poledancing #poledancers #poledance #dance #silly #womanpower #wpw #dancing #fingerguns #funny

Yesterday I had a conversation with my spouse about our most awkward moments in life, and I realized...I seem to have many more awkward stories than most people. Some of them are so horrifyingly embarassing I had never spoken them out loud.

It felt good to let them go and laugh a little about it. Maybe a new #AwkwardMoments category for me here in 2024.
