I am an Awkward Face-Booker...

You know those moments in life when someone says or does something that makes you feel uncomfortable, and in your mind all you can think is, "Awkward!"...Well, when those moments happen, I'm usually the last to realize it.  In fact, I'm beginning to recognize that I am an instigator of awkwardness.  You know that guy who says something, whether it be kind or condescending, and then stands there expectantly for your response but doesn't seem too sure of himself?....yeeeaaah, I'm that guy...haha.

I have the tendency to be awkward around people, but the real reason I decided to write this post is because I've realized I fit the mold of an awkward Face-booker.  Yes, I am guilty of "liking" posts that raise eyebrows. I have written more vague status comments than I can count, and I am pretty sure about 85% of them have been misconstrued in some form or fashion.  I write status updates that nobody cares to read(consistently), and I've written a gambit of unintentionally awkward messages. 

So then, why do I write this post? 

Because admitting you have a problem is the first step right?...haha, just kidding.  No, the reason I wrote this post is because I think people make too big of a deal out of little things like facebook comments.  For instance, I know I don't sit and analyze the deeper meaning behind what people comment on my status, because they're freaking facebook comments...I mean, seriously, have we sunk to the point where commenting on someone's Facebook status is considered meaningful conversation?  I sure hope not!  I think a lot of good things can be said on Facebook, but they'll never have the impact or power that spoken words have.  Heck, even a text message is more personal than commenting on somebody's status.  I guess if "awkward" within the realm of Facebook is defined as someone who says what they're thinking without putting a people-pleasing spin on it, then I'm awkward. I don't care enough to re-read everything I say on Facebook.  I just say what I'm thinking and try to stay away from topics I don't know much about. If I tell you "I'm praying for you," or "I hope you have a great day,"  I really mean those things. 

I am an awkward Face-booker, and I'm okay with that fact.
