Experience

It’s interesting to see how lost you can be in the most basic situations when you lack experience. It doesn’t matter that for about 90% of the population this is a normal thing, YOUR lack of experience makes it incredibly intimidating and awkward.

You think that seeing it in movies, hearing it from others, or even just imagining the situation would make it familiar. But nope…it never quite matches the reality. It’s a good thing I have a sense of humor in these situations, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable for everyone involved.

It turns out there are benefits to laughing at yourself.
