00:01

Hey, Vsauce.

00:03

Michael here.

00:06

Not knowing what to do with your hands

00:09

or offering a handshake

00:11

when the other person offers a fist bump.

00:23

Forgetting someone's name...

00:30

Not having anything to say and forgetting your phone at home so you can't

00:35

be distracted by it. Getting caught staring at a stranger.

00:39

Striking up a conversation with someone you don't know in a bathroom.

00:42

Someone oversharing, telling a group

00:46

too much information. Overhearing a couple breaking up.

00:51

Noticing food in someone's teeth but not telling them and, well, now it's been too

00:56

long and bringing up would be weird.

00:58

Smelling a fart in an elevator that wasn't yours

01:02

but, well, now you can't even react to it or mention that you've noticed it

01:06

or pretend to even know what a fart is. All of those things

01:10

are awkward.

01:14

We don't like

01:15

awkwardness. It makes us uncomfortable, cringe.

01:19

But what is awkwardness?

01:22

Why is it good and who is the main character

01:28

of the universe?

01:30

To really understand awkwardness we need to put it in context with the entire

01:35

family of forces that guide social behaviour.

01:39

Think of this sheet of cardboard as a list all possible behaviours.

01:43

It's not infinite because of the limits of science and biology.

01:47

You can't move faster than light or be in two places at once.

01:51

You can't wear pants made out of molten lead.

01:54

Next, there are legal limits - the laws of the state.

01:58

They delineate what you agree not to do, lest the authorities

02:03

punish you - murder, stealing, speeding. What's left

02:07

is molded by the finder tool of social expectations.

02:11

It's not illegal to chew with your mouth open or

02:15

not cover a sneeze on a crowded bus or

02:18

act disrespectfully, but it is frowned upon.

02:21

Punished not by the police, but by social ostracism,

02:25

public opprobrium. Being called rude,

02:29

gross, mean, annoying.

02:32

Awkwardness is the finest tool. It sands

02:36

social dynamics by smoothing out what even etiquette doesn't rule on.

02:40

It's not a violation of the laws of physics to accidentally hug someone

02:45

for longer than they expected. It's not against the law

02:49

either. And the etiquette for how long a hug should last

02:52

isn't black-and-white. But it is
