Awkwardness with Alexandra Plakias
Overthink
Navigating Awkwardness in Social Interactions
This chapter explores the complexities of awkwardness in social situations, particularly when discussing sensitive topics like death, illness, and money. It highlights how a lack of social scripts can heighten discomfort and examines strategies for managing awkwardness, including pre-planned dialogues and focusing on interaction goals. The conversation also emphasizes the impact of neurodivergent experiences on social dynamics, advocating for a deeper understanding of awkwardness as a reflection of social context rather than a personal flaw.
