Know what to avoid. Though every social situation is different, there are a few key things that you may want to avoid when it comes to being socially savvy. There are certain comments or actions that tend to come off as socially awkward and are worth avoiding if you want to feel comfortable around other people. Here are some things to watch out for:
- Avoid saying that you're so awkward. You can guess the outcome.
- Avoid asking people overly personal questions if you don't know them very well, like why they're not dating anyone or if they've gained weight.
- While you don't have to stand miles apart from other people, give people space.
