22 Awkward Situations We Are Lucky to Play No Part In
Every now and then, we come across situations that catch us off guard and leave us stumped as to how to react. According to psychologists, social awkwardness has actually been linked to an internal “early warning system.” In other words, it’s the way that our subconscious warns us to stay out of these situations for our own safety.
Here at Bright Side, we hope these awkward situations will not cross the paths of our readers. But, if you do happen to come across a crazy incident, there’s only one thing to do — take a photo!
