People don't want to have awkward interactions with other people.It's not a negative emotion.If you make someone else feel it, it can be enjoyable.Making a friend feel awkward isn't going to get you many points for being charming, but it can be a great source of fun for your mischievous side.It is possible to make others feel awkward by being awkward yourself.
Step 1: Directly at the other person.
The easiest way to make someone feel awkward is through staring.Staring makes people feel uneasy and is a very focused look.Hold your gaze and look directly at someone.The longer you hold your look, the more awkward it will be.A range of emotions can be communicated by gazing.It may seem like you're trying to flirt with that person if you smile.Keep your expression blank for the purpose of making someone feel awkward.If you don't know why you're looking at that person, the confusion will put your target on edge.Continuous staring may make you feel uncomfortable.It's not a normal thing to do with someone you're not familiar with.
Step 2: Act nervously.
The act of expressing worry and anxiety is called nervousness.It is possible to do this by darting your eyes around.People will jump over to you if you get the feeling that you're uneasy.If you're an easy-going person, you will have to make a conscious effort to be restless.If you can help, don't sit still.Body language can be awkward.
Step 3: People are gross with their bodily functions.
If you want to make situations awkward for people, burping and farting are two of your favorite weapons.If you're in a quiet setting, these are great.It will be difficult for people to ignore the fact that you passed gas.If the person you're trying to make feel awkward is polite, this is the way to go.It's possible he'll do his best to keep from embarrassing you if politeness is high on his agenda.The more obvious your function was, the more he will be uncomfortable.
Step 4: The person has a physical space.
A personal bubble is what the most easy-going people have.Unless you're in a romantic partnership with someone, you won't get in their way.Even though the bubble is different for everyone, getting right in their faces can make them uneasy.This will not result in an enjoyable awkwardness for anyone.He won't take this privacy invasion lightly if someone is prone to anger.
Step 5: A high-five is incomplete.
Humans rely on expectations to make their lives easier.The high-five will be carried out if you offer it.If the other person reaches for your hand, it will make you feel uneasy.People don't like seeing things unfinished.
Step 6: You should spend a lot of time by yourself.
To create awkwardness, be sincerely awkward.People who spend a lot of time on their own tend to have weird habits that other people may not like.If you're only planning on making someone feel awkward once, this isn't a good idea.It's not a good idea if you don't like being alone.If you do, awkwardness will come more naturally to you.
Step 7: Accurately read social cues.
Most people read and interpret social cues without even thinking about them.If you want another person to feel awkward, you should read social signals.If you think you are expected to return, do the opposite.Just about any social interaction will fall apart in minutes.If someone tells you a joke, you should get angry or sad.If you don't expect the joke to be funny, you will put the other person on edge.
Step 8: Ask controversial questions.
If someone has a good understanding of social cues and norms, they are less likely to be asked inappropriate questions.If you want to make someone feel awkward, you should bring up things that people don't usually talk about.Religion and politics can get under people's skin when they're brought up suddenly.Asking personal information about someone's life can work, but not always.If you say something about a traumatic experience, some people may be hurt.
Step 9: Put "filler" words in your sentences.
People don't think of a way to fill in the pauses when they use fill words.Words like "ahh" or "um" give the brain time to catch up with what you're saying.You will sound nervous and uneasy if you use these words.If you're trying to make someone feel awkward, this is a good thing.Work in an "um" at the beginning of every sentence.If you're already prone to this type of language, be aware of how you use it and make a point of emphasizing it wherever you can.You can train yourself out of this problem if you slow down how fast you talk.
Step 10: People's names are misremembered.
If you fail to remember someone's name, it is considered rude.If you mispronounce the names of people you know, it will put an uncomfortable distance between the two of you.This only works on people who are not very close to you.He will think you are stupid if you have known the person for a long time.
Step 11: It's important to make a lot of your slip-ups.
People who are nervous and anxious tend to make a lot of social errors.If you want to make someone uncomfortable, this can be done to your advantage.If you accidentally bumped into someone, apologize and bring up the mistake later in the conversation after he's forgotten about it.This makes the slip-ups seem larger than they really are.
Step 12: The awkwardness should be brought attention.
awkwardness can become a cause for more awkwardness.It's important to bring up the awkwardness in a conversation if there is a period of silence.Let the silence linger and say something like "It's really awkward right now."This puts a responsibility on the other person to keep the conversation going, and he will probably feel uncomfortable in the process.Bringing up the awkwardness in a conversation can be used to work it out.There is a release of tension on both sides if someone is honest about it.If you bring attention to the awkwardness and keep it going, you will be able to push it further.
Step 13: Take into account the norms of your environment.
Things that would be very awkward in one situation will be normal in another.If you want to stir the pot, you should consider the environment you're in.What is considered polite would be seen as rude or awkward.A library values quiet and peace.Awkwardness could come from coughing loudly.
Step 14: Sexual tension should be given to the situation.
Sexual tension is a great way to make someone feel uncomfortable.If you have never seen each other that way before, this is even more true.Making flirtatious advances, such as staring and saying "You're so pretty."Things will be awkward very quickly.Remember to respect boundaries if you choose to do this.You don't want to get a lasting reputation for being awkward.Physical advances and explicit threats are not allowed.If you're too physical with someone, you could be in trouble.You shouldn't test your luck if someone tells you to stop having sex.
Step 15: It's a good idea to interrupt a conversation.
People interrupt conversations a lot.You can start talking loudly when you jump into a conversation.The larger the group conversation you hijack, the awkwardness will increase.If a group of people are talking about weekend plans, running into the centre and loudly proclaiming your love for neoclassical minimalists will make them cringe.
Step 16: Sing along to the music loudly.
A failure to consider where other people are coming from leads to awkwardness.The environment will be disrupted if you barge into a room singing music with headphones on.If you are hanging out with someone in a public place, you will make them feel awkward because of the association with you.It's better if the music is loud.Madonna is better than Brian Eno or Phillip Glass.
Step 17: Drop something on the ground.
Slip-ups like tripping over or breaking something can ruin a social situation.If you are going out of your way to be awkward, you can take advantage of the slip-up by dragging it out.If you drop a drink, you should take a long time to clean it up.Make a big deal of it.Apologize without delay.If the object breaks, you get bonus points.
Step 18: In a public situation, apologizes the person.
Awkwardness and embarrassment are related.If you want to make someone feel uncomfortable, you can use the gazes of everyone around you.If you're sitting at a table in a restaurant, make a scene.He won't like the attention because he will feel guilty by association.There are physical signs of being embarrassed that you should keep an eye out for.The eyes are downward and the cheeks are red.
