How Not to Be Awkward

　　Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. 36.________ This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization process. So, what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward. Let’s try to find answers to the questions.

　　Stay in shape and dress up well

　　Sometimes, awkwardness could be due to being overweight. When you are large in size, you tend to get very self-conscious. So, in order to avoid this, get into the habit of exercising every day. 37.________ If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980’s film when actually it is 2011, there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself.

　　Be optimistic

　　Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. 38.________ On the other hand, a smiling, happy and positive think person is appreciated by everybody. So, smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers, say a cheerful “Hi!” and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!

　　Participate in team activities

　　This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So in order to change this situation, join groups. 39.________ Joining people in book reading sessions as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity of your choice, such as playing team sports or joining a dance class, and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!
