Imagine you’re out at sea...completely lost. You’re starving, thirsty, and the hot sun is burning your neck. The little boat you’re on works just fine. The engine is running, the tiller is functioning and you know you’re somewhere close to land. But you’re just too scared to go the wrong direction. All of a sudden, a map drops out of the sky. You thank the Universe because this map gives you context, understanding, and a way to solve your current problems. Now, think of the boat with the perfectly fine engine and tiller as your body, and the map as a mental model.

Oh no, it’s happened again. You just spoke your mind, acted like yourself, and the other person either looks at you strangely or they awkwardly turn the other way. You try to dispel the awkwardness by making sure the next thing you say or do is something they find acceptable, but nothing comes. Don’t worry. We’ve all been there.

Most awkward social situations arise because we’re all different, and many of us aren’t good at judging situations and picking up the telltale signs of discomfort. The good news is that you can discover ways to pick these up, improve your social skills, and drastically improve your professional and personal relationships.
