Why Awkwardness is key to become more confident

I was actually thinking about this topic on the way to work today.

On a Nerdist Podcast recently, I think it was the Shirley Manson one, Chris Hardwick was saying that Shyness is in fact a form of Narcissism.

Which if you think about it, makes sense. It's this feeling that, "Everyone is looking at me. Everyone is judging me. I should make myself small and quiet."

Now there's nothing wrong with being small and quiet, if you want to go about your life as a mousy person, that's your prerogative. The problem is with the first two statements. Everyone is looking at me. Everyone is judging me.

No, no they're not. No one is looking. Everyone is in their own head, pretty much all the time. It's something I didn't really realize until I got into Seduction, but once you figure this simple thing out, it's very empowering.

Overall, a solid article. The only thing I would be weary about when embracing awkwardness would be making sure you still value yourself as a respectable person. Don't become a parody and fully embody the awkward archetype.

Sure, awkward moments will happen throughout your life, but deal with them when it happens, don't go instigating it all the time like "Er Mah Gersh I can't shake hands evAr! El oh el" is your default personality.

There’s a way to never ever feel awkward ever again. It involves no effort and works instantaneously. All you have to do is simply never speak to any person ever again. Stay in your house, say goodbye to your friends and family, and let everything you’ll ever need simply be delivered to your house.

Isn't that more like a way to feel awkward forever as you slowly transform into a neck beard/Dorito hybrid monster?
