I don’t even know how to explain this properly, but this year has been a nonstop chain of awkward disasters. And what just happened might honestly be the peak of it.

My friends called me and asked if I wanted to go eat burgers with them. I had no money, so instead of saying that directly, I told them I had guests over and had to go somewhere else.

Then my cousin randomly posted some street videos on her story — just casual videos she filmed outside. I asked her to send them to me. My genius plan was to repost them on my Close Friends story so it looked like I was the one out filming and being busy.

So I removed everyone from my Close Friends list except my friends… posted the story… and somehow completely missed the Close Friends button.

I posted it publicly.

And yes — the cousin who originally sent me the videos saw the story too.

The best part? She’s literally in my house right now, and we barely even speak the same language properly, so I can’t even explain the situation without sounding completely insane.

Honestly this is one of the most perfectly constructed awkward situations I’ve ever created. Every single decision somehow made it worse.

TL;DR: Lied to my friends about being “busy” because I had no money, reposted my cousin’s street videos to fake it, accidentally posted them publicly instead of Close Friends, and the cousin who sent them saw everything while staying at my house.

Something very awkward happened to me once.

Imagine a crossroads near school. From the school side, some girls from my class were coming, and I was coming from the west side (not directly opposite them). As I passed through, I looked toward the center of the intersection and saw her. The girl I used to text was there. We had even hung out and talked before, but we never reached the bf/gf level. I stopped in the middle of the road.

She and her classmates were coming toward me. All this time, I had been trying to maintain a “cool guy” image, acting nonchalant and confident.

I don’t know why I did this, but as soon as I was out of her sight (there was a small booth/garage between us), I suddenly started running forward at full speed. I have no idea why. Full speed.

While I was running, I looked back through a fence/mesh and made eye contact with them. Absolutely everyone was watching me run away. It was a very, very awkward moment.

4–5 weeks have passed since then. Today, I walked out of my classroom into the hallway, and as soon as those girls saw me, they started laughing and staring at me.

I wish I could just move to another planet.

TL;DR: Tried to look cool in front of a girl I used to talk to, then randomly sprinted away at full speed while all her friends watched. Weeks later they still laugh when they see me.
