How do you deal with awkward moments/ places you socially feel uncomfortable.

You know like a class, church, job, group, etc you do not feel comfortable in, but at the same time you still have to go. My second class is like that, the whole vibe of the room just feels tense. The teacher is bi-polar and keeps everyone on edge(I have friends in the class, but we are nervous to speak), this attention whore who comments on everything someone does, and almost everyone seems to have some issue with anyone else. It is the same way with groups where you do not feel like you belong, or at boring meetings you just can't wait for it to end.

How do you all deal with being forced to sit through awkward/boring crap.

If i'm able to... I put on my iPod.

If I can't listen to music or anything electronic - I start reading my comics in my mind. Since I read my favorite's so many times I have some memorized and I start changing the story or putting myself in them to get my mind off whatever is boring me to death. If comics don't work, I do the same thing, but with movies.

That works fine in a relaxed environment, but not at school/work.

I fart loudly to break the ice.

cry, making it even more awkward.

I'm not in enough.

Beer.

Beer definitely helps. If not that pretending to have a really weird disease.

If you can't leave or distract yourself, you gotta grin and bear it. Elraptor

Same as above.

I bear with it. Don't want to stick out and make it noticeable that I'm uncomfortable. Usually I try to somehow find a way to get socially comfortable. Mostly by finding someone to converse with.

i just look around the room or just look stupid

I hav actually meet someone were we couldn't find ANYTHING in common. Nothing!

Different age groups in a class. It's so awkward at times because they are all in different phases of life.

Daydream, Ipod, or just leaving always helps.

I just kind of tough it out. I feel awkward in most situations, to be honest.t3hrubikscube

i put my head down and hide in my hair.

Depends on the situation. Sometimes I just have to inject myself into it and take control.

Marijuana can either help or make it worse.
