On March 18th, we will celebrate National Awkward Moments Day. Everyone can relate to awkward moments. They happen a lot and are a part of every person's life. Have you ever tripped over nothing, walked into a door, had the wrong words come out of your mouth, or forgotten what you were doing? The list is long. Fears are human. Everyone has them. Sometimes they feel insurmountable. They may even be frustrating. No matter what you're dealing with today, rest assured that there are others who have it worse. Laughing at yourself is a key to happiness. You'll feel better, and others will too. When you're in an awkward situation, try to make fun of it. People won't expect it, but you'll be surprised at how quickly the tension fades. Remember that you're not alone — lots of people feel awkward!

National Awkward Moments Day is celebrated on March 18 of every year.

We have been unable thus far to find the creator of this national day, but we will be sure to keep you posted.
