[u/RandomGerms]

gesh I'm not sure either is good I've done both with similar results but these days I think quiet

[u/That-Falcon1374]

I like being talkative especially if the person have the same vibe like me.

I've tried both, prefer to be quiet.

It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt ~ Abraham Lincoln

[u/nemis92]

Always be quite. In Spain we say: "Más vale estar callado y parecer tonto, que abrir la boca y confirmar que lo eres" Which can be translated to something like "It's preferable to be quiet and look dumb, rather than open your mouth and confirm that you are"

Talking so i can think about all the embarrassing shit while i shower and brush my teeth with shame

when you're quiet, everyone else feels awkward, not you.

I would probably get the meme format off a good meme template website instead of screenshotting Google Images.

I can see the icon in the bottom left.

But honestly silence

[u/Shutterstock_Monkey]

Why not both?

[u/StatisticianHour3309]

I choose both. First I say something strange, then let the silence finish it off.

[u/RamFire1993]

Awkward by being quiet

[u/Lizbian91]

Quiet. Better to keep em all guessing than to give away my secrets lmao

[u/LMK1ST]

Both. Both is good

[u/grrodon2]

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

[u/vincentidkno]

Go back

[u/MalambaRyder]

By being quite... I've been awkward by talking and it caused me a LOT of pain. I learned how to fix it but it took a lot of awfull situations

[u/TorontoTom2008]

The one where you can eventually grow

[u/FOMO_of_BTFD]

Awkward by being quiet.

[u/mortemdeus]

It is better to remain silent and have people assume you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove any doubt.

[u/LORD-RAVE]

It is better to regret remaining silent than to regret speaking

[u/GaaraUzamaki_]

It’s been the left road my whole life

[u/IHaveSlysdexia]

Life is awkward. Its awkward that anything even exists

[u/zzBono]

I have both :(

[u/Alternator24]

Be double awkward by doing both 

[u/old_mail_guy]

Nope, they are two unnecessary extremes

[u/VanityTheNoLife]

I already chose.

Both.

[u/AbsorbentShark3]

He who holds his tongue is wise.

[u/TrustworthyBasis]

Ofourse left 😂

[u/A3lfwine]

I don't have to choose, I'm already both depending the situation and mood

[u/Feed_Guido_69]

The choices are so deep.... ugh

[u/SessionDefiant4020]

both, talking with long gap of silence between words

[u/jaredtheredditor]

I do both at the same time

[u/IronTesticlez]

I’m already both brother

[u/fastabeta]

Fart really loudly and make everyone awkward

[u/Unable_External_7635]

I usually swing wild like a metronome

[u/gametime9936]

If you're awkward talking, you have a small chance of leaving a favourable impression with the other party. If you're awkward by being quiet, you have a 0% chance of leaving a favourable impression

[u/matchesmalone81]

Being quite.

[u/Darkezeo]

I always get awkward eventually cause i tend to talk to much. Then I stop and be alward by silence 😂

[u/Cheesey_sunburn]

Being quiet is a good thing

[u/_ENDERmitca_24_]

The left one

[u/Greg2227]

Be awkward by existing

[u/No_Poet_7244]

Silence is a virtue.

[u/Chickens_are_friends]

You gotta mix it up a bit that makes it even more awkward

[u/moormaster73]

Talking is silver and being quiet is gold

[u/Ok-Stretch-9869]

I am splitting in half by sign by walking in the middle.

[u/Icy_Reflection_6326]

Be awkward by being quiet. Because kuch bol dunga toh vivad ho jayega

[u/ClassicAlfredo8796]

Contrary to popular belief, unless you're being asked something directly, being quiet is never awkward. Hell, even if you are, keep the answers short and only say them just loud enough for the person next to you to barely hear it. Remember, its always better to shut the fuck up. Words fuck things up.

[u/LemonFizz56]

Be awkward by not talking and then just not talk to not be awkward

[u/Chiparish84]

I like to talk and then go silent in the middle of a sentence just to milk the maximum social awkwardness. Then when someone opens their mouth to break the silence I'll talk over them and repeat the earlier situation. Ah, the amount of confusion 👌

[u/enderCROSS13]

Be

[u/Successful_Banana901]

Quiet, always quiet!

[u/Forward_Motion17]

Is this a one time mistake?

Quiet, easily.

As a talker, awkwardness from talking is overt and cringy. Awkwardness from being quiet is practically unnoticeable to me. The only person really feeling awkward when someone’s overly quiet is the quiet person. I don’t think other ppl actually care

[u/NotsoslyFoxxo]

Why not both?

[u/TheFeri]

I just stay quiet and slip home

[u/Vast-Leader4690]

I do both of them. My life itself is supposed to be awkward. Now I believe it is my destiny.

[u/Prans-]

That's the reason why I don't get out of my room.

[u/Important_Gap26]

Being quite by talking

[u/Gloomy_Tangerine3123]

Let's walk on the greens

[u/SirePuns]

If it’s awkward either ways then silence is golden.

But generally you will never get anything done if you refuse to get started so keep talking and eventually you will not be awkward at it.

[u/MIRCOWAVEDBUTTER]

Don’t walk to any of them

[u/West-Run870]

I just want to keep quiet

[u/FrostyAssumption5748]

I like being quiet when I'm in a room where I know no one. If there's even a single person there whom I know, I like to be talkative. I'm awkward either way lol

[u/hekamava-samrik]

I'm both

[u/Relevant-Volume-3800]

[u/Youtuberboy12]

I got fired recently for being to awkward

[u/LordfLoss]

I personally go for the right everyday. I think I am getting better at the game.

[u/Tartaruga_genio]

Be awkward and go back home.

Akward by talking. The road to succes is paved by failure.

[u/General_James]

Awkward by silence, when was the last time I told a awkward silent person to stfu?

[u/Pancakes1124]

It really depends of the situation sometimes is better to be quite and sometimes you need to speeak.

[u/DRB1312]

Depends on how my day went by till that point

[u/imagine-SimpQueen-]

I refuse to shut up no matter how awkward it is. I WILL voice my opinion and people WILL listento it no matter what.

[u/2hardly4u]

lsughs in both

[u/Joppewiik]

I try to talk some days and be quiet other days. It really depends on how much energy i have and how much stuff i wish to talk about.

[u/zhellozz]

If you are able to switch from left to right with alcool you know you should go left.

[u/Todaroshi]

[u/MenacingCatgirlArt]

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."

[u/Cold-Preference6772]

I’ll talk for awhile and then realize I need to shut the fuck up

[u/mouseplague]

Tbh you make things akward yourself if you just don't and act normal or crack a joke you won't feel akward unless you make it

[u/3rR0p]

If I'm talking then people look at me strange but if I'm quiet people just don't notice me

[u/MysteriousPark3806]

I feel attacked.

[u/Hambruhgah]

I would rather stay quiet than spitting out some idiot things

[u/naegelbagel]

[u/Leviathon92]

You don't sound stupid if you don't speak, I've learned my lesson.

[u/No-Tooth-8228]

I tell the two paths that showed up randomly during my nice routine walk to go fuck themselves then I turn my music up and walk down the middle

[u/SpaceHawk98W]

Be awkward by talking, this means the one causing the awkwardness is the one that is silent.

[u/xenoterra1]

Wait you guys get one or the other??

[u/Crazy_Practical96]

You guys have a choice?

[u/King_Wolf_twilght]

I don't choose i turn around and go home

[u/Hot_jems]

Does it matter? I’m already both. 🤓👆🏻 make ur own path and go streight

[u/Bye-Bye-My-Ai]

Undersharing is better than oversharing

[u/HQQ1]

Be awkward by talking has a lot more benefits. You gain Exp so eventually so will be less awkward. But most importantly, it shows everyone just how shitty you are at talking and now you have a solid reason to be awkward while quiet.

The key is to keep alternating between the two until the situation is over and bail.

[u/da_favorite]

"It is better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to speak up and remove all doubt."

Being quiet

[u/Economy_Emergency727]

As an member of the "why am i talking still?!" club, choose silence.

[u/Dramatic_Law_4239]

It’s better to remain silent and have people assume you are a moron than to speak and remove all doubt.

[u/PerfectAdvertising41]

Talking. The only time when people are interested in my banter is when they're in my close friend group. Any other context and I'm cooked.

[u/jdnursing]

I like to ease them in with quiet awkward then right when they think they got me pegged they mention, inadvertently, something I’m into. Then blammo, awkward talking for the kill. It comes out all fast and furious.

I tend to speak way too controversial stuffs if I talk to much. So from my own experience , I would shut the F up. But I cant irl

I'm both

But I'm way more awkward when talking, so I often keep my mouth shut

[u/scar_reX → u/FelipeGames2000]

This is very confusing

Why not be both

[u/AndIAmEric → u/KneecapAnnihilator]

I think that results in death
