Awkward

You know what is awkward?  Many things.  I'll post on this topic often.  It's the problem with being a counselor.  You're constantly in meta-analysis mode.  The other problem with being a counselor, you say 'meta' alot.

Back to the topic at hand.  When someone makes a joke about a personality trait they don't believe they have, but they actually do - that's awkward.

In light of the fact that I just commented on this social phenomenon, I'd like to state, for the record, that I, myself, am awkward in various social situations.  I know this about myself.  I try to only make fun of myself in a self-deprecating way, thus avoiding the awkward situation mentioned above.  And also, I try to keep some friends around who are willing to make fun of me.  If you'd like to apply, let me know.
