awkward

True. The school admin decided that a girls clothes were more important than her education.

Sometimes you feel awkward being what you're best at, you feel like you have to be something new.

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.

And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.

I've always been a geek and slightly awkward... slightly umm... I was never the cool kid at school.

It's interesting, isn't it? . . . the chandelier . . . it reminds me of mushroom soup.

They said words they did not mean, and their conversations seemed to follow all kinds of rules__ules that no one has ever explained to Oscar.

If you want to call it quits, just tell me. Man up and say it to my face. Don__ just skulk around.

The Black Pit of Despair is temporarily closed for renovations. We apologize for any inconvenience.

When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.

All right, let's consider some history here. I see a number of girls are wearing pants. This used to be frowned upon. In 1938, Helen Hulick was jailed for wearing slacks -- put behind bars.Do you think society should have the right to jail or punish you for what you choose to wear?

I hated puberty. It had been that horrible stage from child hood, to pre teen, and my stage from ugly, to ugly with menstrual cramps.

What, Kilorn?' I sigh. 'What,' he echoes, shaking his head. After a long second, something snaps in him. 'I know you don't feel the same way I do. About us.' I'm seized by the urge to smash my head against a rock. Us. It feels stupid to talk about, a foolish waste of time and energy. But more than that, it's embarrassing and uncomfortable. My cheeks flame red. This is not a conversation I ever wanted to have with him.

Yes, life is full of awkward moments! For example, that time you keep dazing off while staring at the same person you found yourself staring at five minutes ago. *gulp* So glad staring is still not illegal. Or, at least I'm glad for my own benefit.

Awkward.That's exactly how it was when we walked over to our sister and stood on each side of her, looking at her and feeling things and not knowing what to do.

My beloved has arrived, but rather than greeting him, All I can do is bite the corner of my apron with a blank expression- What an awkward woman am I. My heart has longed for him as hugely and openly as a full moonBut instead I narrow my eyes, and my glance to him Is sharp and narrow as the crescent moon. But then, I'm not the only one who behaves this way. My mother and my mother's mother were as silly and stumbling as I am when they were girls...Still, the love from my heart is overflowing, As bright and crimson as the heated metal in a blacksmith's forge.

I learned something important that night. You shouldn__ try to stop everything from happening. Sometimes you__e supposed to feel awkward. Sometimes you__e supposed to be vulnerable in front of people. Sometimes it__ necessary because it__ all part of you getting to the next part of yourself, the next day.

It__ even more awkward when we__e face to face with people. It used to be exciting to make plans with friends because you could sit and catch up and talk about what__ been going on in your lives. Now when you see someone there__ nothing left to say. You__e already seen the pictures from their trip to Rio on Facebook. You__e read their tweets about the latest diet they__e on. And they already texted you about the pregnancy scare. So you end up just sitting and staring at each other until you both start texting other people.
