How to Turn Awkwardness into Attraction

It’s fascinating how quickly a situation can turn awkward. Whether you are on a date or hanging out with friends, getting stuck in an awkward position isn’t an enjoyable experience. However, the good news is that you can turn awkwardness into attraction with the following tips.

1. Laugh or Smile It Off

It can get pretty awkward when somebody is teasing or making fun of you. By laughing or smiling it off, you neutralize the environment. Also, people look much better when they smile, and this can make you more attractive. As amazing as being cheerful is, don't fake a smile.

2. Never Make the Mistake of Portraying a Defeated Body Language

Slouching, and fidgeting are examples of defeated body language. These make the situation more awkward. No matter what happens, always retain open body language. When you keep your chest, torso, and abdomen open, this boosts your attractiveness, and it can immediately put a stop to an awkward situation.

3. Call Out the Awkwardness

Such situations are often characterized by periods of silence where both parties are afraid of admitting how awkward things are. When you step up and acknowledge that this situation is uncomfortable. In the minds of the other person(s), they will adore how bold you are. By admitting that a particular situation is awkward, both parties can take the necessary recovery steps.

4. Avoid Making Negative Assumptions about Ambiguous Comments

If a person’s comments are unclear, don’t rush into making a negative assumption. These can easily make a situation awkward. Some of us read a little bit too much into a person’s comments. Always ask for clarification.

5. Lesson in Life - Nobody Cares

Your insecurities can quickly drive you into an awkward position. You have to understand that no one cares about some of the things you are worried about. When you embrace this lesson, you will be confident, and this, in turn, makes you very attractive.

Awkwardness and attraction will never exist simultaneously in the same room. You have to choose one, and the above tips can help you with that. Learn to radiate positive energy, and you will never feel awkward about any situation.
