EXPLANATION

"Awkward" is like when things get really uncomfortable and weird in a social situation. It's like when you accidentally call your teacher "mom" or when you trip in front of everyone. It's like saying, "That's so embarrassing!" 'Cause you feel all weird inside and don't know what to do. Awkward moments make you want to hide or disappear, 'cause you feel like everyone's staring at you. It's like walking on a tightrope, where one wrong step can make everything feel awkward!
