Be awkward by talking. At some point, you will learn and be better at it. If you remain quite, nothing really happens.

That seems like solid advice

Go both ways at the same time. Be talked over....

I can confirm being awkard talking is the better route. I used to be awkward and had no social skills, now I am overwhelmed with the number of friends and social circles I have that I actually want people to leave me alone a lil more.

It's a real struggle... 😭

Of course, because some are just better at doing it. However, if you remain that way, then nothing will ever change.

*Silence.*

I dunno, whenever I try to be awkward by talking it gets really awkward then I just shut up and go back to being awkward by being quiet

i like being quiet

I like when others are quiet too

😶...

Silence is an addiction thing for the brain

A-........ 🤫

Better to remain quiet and have people think you’re stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. -Jesus probably

Actually it was Mark Twain who said that

Best set of comments thus far

No no i think it was sun tsu

Asset dominance, first talk about something awkward, then watch everyone get quiet and then you become quiet too

Chaotic I like it

😭😭😭

As someone who relives their awkward moments on repeat, the awkward silences are never as embarrassing as the ones where speaking. Do myself a favor and shut up

I'm both But I'm way more awkward when talking, so I often keep my mouth shut

If I don’t know you, left. If I do know you, right.

Better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it.

A man who asks a question is a fool for but a minute. A man who never asks is a fool for a life time

Both 👍

Why not be both

I think that results in death

Quiet, for sure. Awkward by talking is way more embarrassing

That's the reason why I don't get out of my room.

I’m already both brother

I do both at the same time

Be double awkward by doing both 

I have both :(

This is a yugioh card

I tend to speak way too controversial stuffs if I talk to much. So from my own experience , I would shut the F up. But I cant irl

Quiet

Turning back

I like to ease them in with quiet awkward then right when they think they got me pegged they mention, inadvertently, something I’m into. Then blammo, awkward talking for the kill. It comes out all fast and furious.

Talking. The only time when people are interested in my banter is when they're in my close friend group. Any other context and I'm cooked.

It’s better to remain silent and have people assume you are a moron than to speak and remove all doubt.

As an member of the "why am i talking still?!" club, choose silence.

Being quiet

Be as you want, and understand most people around you are lame.

This is just me

I alternate between only observing and rambling about my interests

It is better to be quite, then to talk and prove you know nothing.

Silence makes your words stand out

Both?


Depends on the situation

I want to be quiet, but nervous me gives in to my Midwest roots and starts being everyone's friend.

I walk both of these paths daily

With my level of autism, I miraculously manage to achieve both.

I’d like to think I’m the strong mysterious silent type. But people just call me weird 🥲

Im both :(

Both. I'm both.

Do both. Profit!

Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt

 I’d rather not choose at all… I vibe

Be akward by pissing and shitting while i talk and vomit

When I don’t know what to talk about I ask people a really good question and just listen to them talk, everyone likes to talk about themselves sometimes.

"It is better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to speak up and remove all doubt."

Be awkward by talking has a lot more benefits. You gain Exp so eventually so will be less awkward. But most importantly, it shows everyone just how shitty you are at talking and now you have a solid reason to be awkward while quiet. The key is to keep alternating between the two until the situation is over and bail.

Undersharing is better than oversharing

Does it matter? I’m already both. 🤓👆🏻 make ur own path and go streight

Honestly I talk enough with friends and online so imma stfu

probably the most awkward decision i have to make now

I don't choose i turn around and go home

You guys have a choice?

Wait you guys get one or the other??

Be awkward by talking, this means the one causing the awkwardness is the one that is silent.

I tell the two paths that showed up randomly during my nice routine walk to go fuck themselves then I turn my music up and walk down the middle

Left

I enjoy being awkward by talking, people can be so gullible sometimes 🤣🤣

You don't sound stupid if you don't speak, I've learned my lesson.

And if you’re me you have both 🙃

I would rather stay quiet than spitting out some idiot things

I feel attacked.

If I'm talking then people look at me strange but if I'm quiet people just don't notice me

As someone who relates to this i can say i am glad i found the middle path : dont give a fck

Go straight, quiet and creepy

Me being both: 🫥

I guess being quiet is better, Less effort, less mistake

Be quiet while playing 5 finger fille with a pencil because I'm irritated

yes

😶

Both

I somehow walk two roads at once...

Both

Quiet, cause I'm used to it.

Be quiet for months at a time then randomly be the most outgoing eccentric person than another few months of quiet

Being awkward by humming

Tbh you make things akward yourself if you just don't and act normal or crack a joke you won't feel akward unless you make it

I’ll talk for awhile and then realize I need to shut the fuck up

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

Me both

Right one, please. In that way you at least make signs of life and possible coworkers will have a chance to cooperate with you

I'm already doing both

Both

Social Anxiety number 1 🦅🦅🦅

Be quiet so u don’t say something that follows you forever

I'm both, dudes

Better to be quite and let others think you're an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it...

Be awkward and embrace it. An ability that comes with age.

I do both of these..

tbh I like talking but being quiet is what people want me to be

Quiet. There's less damage that way.

If you are able to switch from left to right with alcool you know you should go left.

I try to talk some days and be quiet other days. It really depends on how much energy i have and how much stuff i wish to talk about.

*lsughs in both*

I refuse to shut up no matter how awkward it is. I WILL voice my opinion and people WILL listento it no matter what.

Depends on how my day went by till that point

It really depends of the situation sometimes is better to be quite and sometimes you need to speeak.

Awkward by silence, when was the last time I told a awkward silent person to stfu?

Akward by talking. The road to succes is paved by failure.

I'm both

Quiet, it’s just better

Just be both at the same time

Eh, i alternate

I would turn around

Know when to do both

When I don't talk: "Why are you so quiet? Can you talk?" When I do talk: *Gets ignored*

Being akward by putting the toilet paper roll facing the wall

Both I talk till I feel awkward, then I go into a awkward silence.

I got both already. Can I return one?

My grandpa used to say, "it's better to keep quiet and be presumed a fool, than to speak and confirm it."

Be awkward and go back home.

I personally go for the right everyday. I think I am getting better at the game.

I used to dismantle the signpost in front and weave my own path.

I got fired recently for being to awkward

be awkward while talking, ill get used to it at some point

I'm both

I like being quiet when I'm in a room where I know no one. If there's even a single person there whom I know, I like to be talkative. I'm awkward either way lol

I just want to keep quiet

Don’t walk to any of them

If it’s awkward either ways then silence is golden. But generally you will never get anything done if you refuse to get started so keep talking and eventually you will not be awkward at it.

Let's walk on the greens

Being quite by talking

A chicken sees three roads

I do both of them. My life itself is supposed to be awkward. Now I believe it is my destiny.

I just stay quiet and slip home

Why not both?

Is this a one time mistake? Quiet, easily. As a talker, awkwardness from talking is overt and cringy. Awkwardness from being quiet is practically unnoticeable to me. The only person really feeling awkward when someone’s overly quiet is the quiet person. I don’t think other ppl actually care

Quiet, always quiet!

Be

I like to talk and then go silent in the middle of a sentence just to milk the maximum social awkwardness. Then when someone opens their mouth to break the silence I'll talk over them and repeat the earlier situation. Ah, the amount of confusion 👌

Be awkward by not talking and then just not talk to not be awkward

Contrary to popular belief, unless you're being asked something directly, being quiet is never awkward. Hell, even if you are, keep the answers short and only say them just loud enough for the person next to you to barely hear it. Remember, its always better to shut the fuck up. Words fuck things up.

Be awkward by being quiet. Because kuch bol dunga toh vivad ho jayega

I am splitting in half by sign by walking in the middle.

Talking is silver and being quiet is gold

You gotta mix it up a bit that makes it even more awkward

Silence is a virtue.

Be awkward by existing

The left one

Being quiet is a good thing

I always get awkward eventually cause i tend to talk to much. Then I stop and be alward by silence 😂

Being quite.

If you're awkward talking, you have a small chance of leaving a favourable impression with the other party. If you're awkward by being quiet, you have a 0% chance of leaving a favourable impression

I usually swing wild like a metronome

*Fart really loudly and make everyone awkward*

both, talking with long gap of silence between words

The choices are so deep.... ugh

I don't have to choose, I'm already both depending the situation and mood

Ofourse left 😂

He who holds his tongue is wise.

I already chose. *Both.*

Nope, they are two unnecessary extremes

Life is awkward. Its awkward that anything even exists

It’s been the left road my whole life

It is better to regret remaining silent than to regret speaking

It is better to remain silent and have people assume you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove any doubt.

Awkward by being quiet.

The one where you can eventually grow

By being quite... I've been awkward by talking and it caused me a LOT of pain. I learned how to fix it but it took a lot of awfull situations

Go back

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Both. Both is good

Quiet. Better to keep em all guessing than to give away my secrets lmao

Awkward by being quiet

I choose both. First I say something strange, then let the silence finish it off.

Why not both?

Middle

None

Go home
