#76: 😅 The Awkwardness We Never Talk About

from Messy on Purpose Hosted by Fylisha Kruse

In this episode of Messy on Purpose, Fylisha and Lee dive into one of those weirdly universal things we all experience but rarely talk about: 👉 why does it feel so awkward to just… stand there? Whether it’s being in an elevator, standing in a group of people, waiting in line, or sitting in silence, there’s this almost automatic urge to grab your phone, look busy, or avoid eye contact just so it doesn’t feel uncomfortable. But why? They unpack the social pressure behind awkward silence, the unspoken rules of public spaces, and why being still can sometimes feel harder than it should. From phone habits to body language to the strange ways humans cope with discomfort, this episode is funny, relatable, and a little too real. Because sometimes the messiest conversations are about the little everyday things we all silently experience.
