Awkward

The close talker
The Debbie downer
The giver of TMI (too much information)
The constant interrupter
The "Me Monster"
The overlaugher

All great ways to make potentially awkward situations even more awkward. I don't know about you, but when I witness the above behaviors I have strong feelings of what I like to call 3PE or third party embarrassment.
Unfortunately, I get lots of practice on first party embarrassment as I am the proud possessor of a distinct overlaugh. I don't intentionally pull it out, but sometimes it gets the best of me and has a mind of its own. When I accidentally release it, which happens all too often, I usually get one of three responses.
A. mild to extreme social awkwardness.
B. the ever so common eyebrow raise which denotes, "come on, Jen, take it down a notch, will ya?"
C. sometimes it breaks the ice and gets others laughing out loud for hours

I suppose, sometimes, an awkward situation can remind us to get over ourselves, to be who we are, and just be ok about it. And sometimes, it really is just toooooo awkward.

Does anyone out there have their own socially awkward intricacies, or do you have a good story of someone who does?
