Published: Sep 2, 2024

Almost all of us have gotten into some form of an awkward situation; especially when it has come to physical contact. It’s so awkward sometimes that you can’t even acknowledge the said incident. We’ve all been there and we made a mutual pact never to speak of it again. Since we can’t acknowledge them in real life as often, we shall do it here.

Here are 11 awkward physical contacts that we have all experienced.

1. Awkward hugs

“Do you they want to hug me?” “Do I want to hug them?” “Handshake? Hug? Why is this so confusing???????!”

When you aren’t sure if you should shake on it or just stand there, but then your hand goes up and you put it down and then bring it back up. #Awkward.
