You can negotiate social settings with the aid of social standards and cues, such as understanding when to say hello and respecting people's personal space. Some of these conventions may have been taught to you personally.
Others, you may have noticed by observing other people do it. You may feel uncomfortable for the other person and squirm within when you see someone break one of these standards.
Similarly, you undoubtedly have a queasy feeling in your stomach when you make a mistake while introducing someone to another person for the first time. However, social awkwardness does not always need to be a negative trait.
In certain respects, it may even be advantageous to you. However, that doesn't make the situation any less upsetting at that moment.
OP's mother-in-law was referred to as being socially awkward, but let's find out why. The OP got married to her long-term partner, but her MIL decided to do certain things at her wedding that would make anyone roll their eyes so hard.
The OP went ahead to list them, and one of them, which seemed so weird, was the grabbing the OP's friend’s baby from her husband’s arms. These are people she has never met before, and she passed the baby to three strangers whose parents didn’t know.
Who does that? The full story lies below, and you can check it out as you scroll down.
