Silence is it Awkward?
Silence is not awkward because nothing is normal. As I was told by my best friend, define what normal is. Is normal being a stereotype such as a prep, jock or loner. Is normal doing the same as everyone else. Is normal not being able to think for yourself. There is no normal in society because society has become so abnormal that normal is exstinct. Society is abnormal because where I go to high school you can be a goth kid but also be really nice like my some of my friends. Also I have other friends that are the "smart kids" but don't act the way as the stereotype makes them out to be. No one or nothing is awkward because in the end awkward isn't awkward it isn't even normal it is just a part of life some people like and others think of it as annoying. Some think of it as annoying because people try to fill the silence with talk but the talk either makes it funny or just makes it worst. For example, at least once a week at the lunch table my friends have a weird silence and one of my friends just tries to talk to make it better but we all end up bursting out in laughter because we are in our comfort zones with each other. "Awkward Silences" are always the best when in your comfort zone, but if they aren't it makes you feel annoyed and uncomfortable. Real silence is so rare now a days because someone is on a cell phone, facebook, watching tv, listening to music, driving a car, using a computer or other electronics and appliances that have made society "noisy". There is always the "noise" of I need to check this application or call this person or drive here. In the end we end up not listening to society cause we never can "rest" our ears from the "noises of life". We have become trained not to listen, not to feel, not to be anything but noisy! No one can listen even if they think they are in silence. What is silence any more? Does silence even exist?
