I love how all vsauce videos are effectively timeless. A 7-12 year old video doesn't feel old at all. Any other video stands out so much if it's like 3+ years old
It's gonna blow your mind if you ever watch movies made before the 2000's
Oh my god, I would've never guessed this was from 8 years ago. Wow
@@pierreo33 dafuq? There are plenty of movies before the 2000s that aged well and others that aged terribly. That's got nothing to do with what that guy said
I legit thought he posted this video recently until i saw your comment haha
@@pierreo33????
- "Bye"
- "See you soon"
*Both proceed to walk the same way*
YagoRG and then you both turn the other way to prevent awkwardness but make it so much worse
Thats why you ask which way they are going before you say bye
@@nerox8531 but they you will feel weird so you keep walking then start sweating intensely
I think if this happened to me I would burst out laughing
I just punch them in the gut and run
The camera man is definitely feeling awkward because he’s trying to walk away from Michael but he just keeps on approaching
Hoo, you're approaching me?
Crix - Crox what does that mean
Llounfox You will never reach the truth
Deeper Bobcat I need help man
Adonis Rodriguez thanks for the suggestion it i will try it and see how it goes
I hate watching "cringey" things or shows that have embarrassing elements (a really common thing in many shows for kids and teens) because I always felt so dang embarrassed for the characters, so I usually just left the room. I think that's the main reason why I stopped watching shows entirely, I just couldn't deal with that awkwardness
i feel you on this. there are very little shows i enjoy bc i think everything is cringe
Reminds me of how horrible Americas got talent is
it happens most frequently to me when im reading embarrassing situations, reading them makes me want to throw the book across the room 😭 i usually just end up having to take a small break b4 persevering
Reading this comment making me cringe uncontrollably
@@Skadi.- im cringing rnrnrn
To me feeling awkward is the inability to face ourselves as imperfect. We seek perfection in order to be loved by others. That is the biggest error a human can make. We are absolutely imperfect and we need to learn to laugh at ourselves and voice it out to others. It's good medicine.
Good point 👍
Ion think it's that deep
@@laurencereynolds7626 it is
@@laurencereynolds7626it is a complex subject
I really wish I could just act like a normal human being
I can tell how awkward people behave around me, and that makes me consequently awkward. It's gotten to a point where I wonder if it has anything to do with my appearance
When you send a message in a group chat but no one replies
Not Mozart fr 😂
This happened to me 5 mins ago
That really pisses me off, especially if it's a question
You guys have group chats?
How’s that awkward?
"What is awkwardness, and who is the main character of the universe?"
that escalated quickly.

ikr
Well, technically., according to what we learned in the video: Yes, that is actually true XD
Me (Michael said so)
I didn't even feel awkward at that comment, I just thought, 'Typical Vsauce"
1:00 ..or walking down an excessively long hallway and seeing someone you know on the other side. Then pretending to look around like you didn’t see them instead of stare at them the entire time you’re walking down that hallway.
Gets me every damn time and it’s probably the most common thing that I find awkward.
You gotta own the awkwardness and greet them from far away
@@shanelefebvre9481that would feel fine to me to with my friends but not my teachers or other people like that ykyk
I never thought I was awkward until it hit me like a freight train when all my best friends described me as awkward…I had to self reflect a lot that night…😫
Win for you since you aren't the one feeling awkward, you're good at making others awkward haha
May the pointers get the boomerang. That way you're golden.

If you're reading this, I'm a very small side character in your world.
true, I’ll probably forget about this comment u made in a week & until then, I’ll only remember u as one sentence you formed
Typical of me to get sentimental over a comment as simple as that
@@shovel5526 Same here I guess. But, who knows how many secretly reoccurring characters there are.
im the same to you
At this moment you're the most important character I'm my life
The thing with cringey awkward moments is we tend to only remember the things we did, not what others did. There’s only a handful of embarrassing things other people have done in my past that I remember. I’d imagine for most people it’s the same.
Yeah people are just looking at themselves and thinking about things that do and not about other people
Nope you are just the only awkward one lol
"it effects all of you." is he saying that it doesnt effect him and he is the main character of the universe

"It's not illegal to sneeze on a bus without covering your nose"

“Hey how are you?”
“Not bad yourself?”

Not bad
ngl i've seen that happen so many times and nobody even noticed it happend
😂😂
this one is a classic conversation killer
Great video. I have depression and anxiety. Sometimes „protagonist disease” gives me social anxiety, but when I’m depressed it changes to “sonder” and I’m feeling like the world with all those complex lives keeps turning around me while my life is just empty and irrelevant to others. I feel like my ideology is changing constantly from one extreme to another.
I know it's been ten months since you wrote this comment but after seeing zero replies I just had to reply to you (I don't really do this often).
Of course we are both internet strangers that barely know anything from each other, like me not knowing the origins of the issues that you are facing currently.
All I know is, that we both feel the same thing.
I've always been a quiet person since the start, but stuff has gotten worse over the years (call it bad experiences).
That thing you said, about the complex lives that are turning around you while your life was "empty" and "irrelevant", I know that feeling too damn well.
You might think, that you haven't accomplished anything or anything worth mentioning, but you are wrong. It just depends on your perspective.
We simply exist in a time, where we constantly worry about achieving all of our major goals as fast as possible.
Something that is flat out unrealistic due to the sheer amount of possibilities that are put on a person (and our interests shifting over time).
And with the ideologies shifting from one extreme to another, that's just social media for you. None of that stuff should take up any more of your attention than it already has.
So as corny as this may sound, just remember that you are the hero of your own story while others are their own as well.
I know this feeling of yours won't change immediately from one day to another, but it will slowly over time if you keep the right mentality up (it's not impossible).
And if you don't think you can do it by yourself, then that's completely fine. Everyone, and I mean everyone needs a helping hand at times, some people can just hide it very well.
Be the hero of your own story, internet stranger! While I try to be my own as well.
(sorry for the long comment)
@@forgottenmemories978thank you. I felt that^^ and that. Needed that
12:27 I think I first experienced “sonder” at around the age of 8. It’s good to have words for these things because then we can actually talk about them rather than having these curious nameless thoughts trapped in your brain unable to be communicated properly.
"not illegal to sneeze on a crowded bus"

This could be fixed by simply adding "When the time comes"
This made me feel better on a really rough mental health day. Getting out of my head and in to someone else's, sitting on a park bench and having sonder for everyone passing by, was actually a big stress. So thank you for that.

One thing I learned as an awkward kid growing up was that mentioning awkward situations when they arise usually gets rid of any tension from others
13:15
normal person: "It makes all of us look small"
Michael: "It makes all of YOU (mortials) look small"
A conversation I had in passing:
“Hey, good to see you”
“Good, you?”
“You too”
“Enjoy your day”
Haha
I was so tired and rushed one day that I said 'How's it doing?' To someone, then immediately tried to regain my balance and said, "how are you going?" Lmao

i love this video. I have a lot of anxiety about social interactions and a large part of what makes me anxious is the possibility of an awkward interaction. Fully explaining the concept of sonder really helped me out with calming my anxiety about such awkward situations lingering in my mind. Thanks Vsauce!

How to make any Vsauce video

Sounds about right.
+Drowsee Then que Vsauce's "shit about to get real" music
"Michael here. But who is 'Michael,' and what does 'Here' taste like?"
+Drowsee "One and a half minutes into the vid and chill and Michael gives you this look"
We all have emotions but what is? ..... THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THE UNIVERSE!
I remember exactly where I was when I first acknowledged sonder. I was on a roundabout looking at cars on a shopping trip with my mum and I was mindblown by it.
I’ve overcome awkward interactions with pure confidence and enthusiasm. Making myself comfortable with it eventually helps the other person overcome the awkward feeling.
lol how is vsauce so good at acting awkward
Mekkel because he's a drama student
Really?
because he likes French fries
Mekkel he always jump from down or from leaft or right.. its like watching a PowerPoint slides xD
You should watch LAHWF
I think it's awesome how every single person has their own life story as complex as your own.
Deathshredder58 i think its awesome that beyond our stories and thoughts we are all the same thing but one big communicating plasm of signals
Deathshredder58 here's a good analogy for people
People are like icebergs viewed from the sky, appearing small but in reality are huge and complex below the surface
Deathshredder58 what if it's a simulation and you're the control
i think its cool that even though we are the main characters of our own lives, for others we are just part of their backgrounds.
Deo LeBrundo Sim 3?
I think I started getting sonder a few years ago. I remember the time I saw one kid walk into his house one day when I was walking home, and then I thought, that kid is probably experiencing the same thing as me, walking home, ready to relax and play games, go to school again, live out a life. We later became friends, although the friendship didn't last long because we never talked during the summer. Now, every time I walk past someone, make eye contact with someone and quickly look away, or see someone in the distance, I remind myself that they are also living a life, thinking about stuff, and probably also thinking about me and what I thought about them when we walked by. And then, sometimes at night, I think of my struggles, then remind myself that there are 8 BILLION people in the world who also had struggles just as hard as mine, or even much worse. Every person who has seen my videos or subscribed to me also did that while watching TH-cam, like I am right now and are currently doing stuff as we speak, every youtube I watch is doing something right now and living a life, everyone is someone.
I love how Michael puts things into perspective. I always leave his videos feeling better about life in general. Thanks awkward bro
Me: time to sleep

Why doesn't school teach us like vsauce does.
because most people only become teachers because they are too stupid or lazy to get a good job with their degree
daniel117100 well then i will become a teacher
daniel117100 More like they dont want a different job because they would rather just have an easy job. Despite what people might think the job of a teacher is actually quite easy. You just repeat what you already know, you dont need to work to hard either physically or mentally. The only downside is that kids can be shits but just like patients at the doctor or people buying at the shop or getting a taxi etc. Basically in most jobs you encounter people who will make your job harder/more annoying from time to time
+Adrian Pawlik I'm currently in high school and I can't understand why they get paid for the extremely little they do
+daniel117100 Well the bad ones yeah... But the good ones they deserve more money. They work harder than they need to for their pay just so we get good grades that allow us to earn way more than they ever will. I have a huge amount of respect for good teachers. The fact they work harder than they need to for our benefit is so generous.
Things to remember:
Negativity Bias - we remember and subconsciously give more weight/value to negative experiences and emotions than we do to positive
Protagonist Disease - Thinking we are the center of the universe
Fundamental Attribution Error - when evaluating situations, you view yourself as a complex character, when posed with the same situation, you judge others as just that one simple mistake/success
Sonder: seeing other people's as having as vivid lives as the ones we see ourselves, and understanding that we are a blip in their universe
Being confident in our awkwardness, while also looking down in submission to the social order of things (etiquette, being normal) helps reintegrate (welcome) ourselves into the social ranks.
It tells other people you want to work together, and that you're mostly innocent. All of which conveys trustworthiness. Owning who you are with confidence and not running away from it, be it social errors or failing, is key here. People who aren't confident seem untrustworthy, because they look like they're hiding something by not owning who they are, what they say, or do. Which could be malicious.

1:39 I think that the list of all possible behaviors could very well be infinite. There are various named infinite sets that still have limits on them. Limitations don't necessarily imply finiteness.
In theory, yes. But infinity doesn't exist in real life and since behaviours are an element of real life they are finite.

Laugh at yourself. It makes it a funny blooper instead of an awkward moment. Works every single time.

I can't believe I used to watch these videos in middleschool and high-school. Vsauce really provided the foundation of a lot of my beliefs and understandings about the world. Truly wonderful. Thanks, Michael.
The problem is those judgey people. We have all encountered that one stuck up person who when we make a mistake or accidentally say something awkward they will say "thats awkward " and make things even more awkward. That moment lasts 100 years or it feels like it. We feel like we messed up and in the future we remember how life changing that moment so we try to avoid it but in the process we just become more awkward, it's a viscous cycle.
When he showed the clip of Biden, I knew he was a time traveler.
TashaZ123 how?
Creepy joe has been molesting for ever
Yes Joe is pretty creepy, but what does that have to do with time travel?
this was the comment I've been looking for 😂
trump has 25 allegations against him so yes trump is creepy as well just look at his 'locker room talk'
I've been in that handshake-Fistbump dilemma way too often. Last time it happened I shook the other persons fist.
FarHowling try to use handshakes for first impressions or your boss or for formal occasions, use the fist bump for friends. Its also easier to stick to one type instead of changing.
I usually make the decision that we are adults and we will shake hands. If they go for a fist bump I just say, "nah, shake my hand." so they're wrong.
The best way to avoid that situation is not to change. If the other person goes in for a fistbump and you go in for a handshake, most often both of you will change. If you put out your hand, just keep it there and let the other person shake your hand.
where I am handshakes are standard when in business or meeting acquaintances and colleagues. Even among friends we greet with a handshake-to-hug or a standard handshake to backpat or standard handshake.
Fistbumps are dated and impractical (usually miss lol) so they're rarely used in my area. Go for the Handshake, less awkward
Never experienced it myself. I have, however, experienced high five-fistbump mixups. And those tend to get awkward, no matter how much you try to joke it off. :p
Quality videos as always Vsauce never disappoints
This channel is such a masterpiece
A group of friends:
The ice breaker guy
The popular guy
The popular guys girlfriend
The tag along and join in guys
The guy who just stands there saying nothing
I'm that guy who just stands there saying nothing :(
Blacknakers im not on de list because i have no friends.
I know those guys. I always try to make them talk
Blacknakers i am the guy who just stands there saying nothing :/
I'm the guy that I dont think gets a classification, because I just stay out of the groups. I don't like talking to more then 1 person at a time, because I feel like when there is someone else, people act differently. Usually I make a couple of friends from each group, and I just talk with them at school, and at home I stick to my web friends.
I try to be the snarky guy. Then again, we're all snarky, so it doesn't even matter anymore.
how many strangers have photos of me in the background? how many times have i been an extra in someone elses life? i ask myself these questions alot
Welp you're currently an extra in my life.
Hello stranger on the internet that I'll never know anything about!! That's pretty weird to think about...
Ari McGuire someone took a picture at a restaurant and i was in the background throwing up
how many times ones have you been a TH-cam comment that someone scrolled right by?
By virtue of me seeing your comment, you are now an extra in my life.
Here's my own self insertion as an extra character
Listening to this helped me more with social and performance anxiety than all the psycho therapist youtubers I'm subscribed to 😆
one of the greatest vsauce videos ever made. thank u Michael :)
That clip of Biden trying to kiss that kid sure didn't age well
So that was Biden?? Lol. I thought it was because he was creepily kissing some girl, but I wasn't sure if I was just imagining it
@D JL whatever
I came to the comments looking for this hahaha
now this video is deleted from all platforms.. hmmmm
@@jojo.s_bekaar_adventures once you past the threshold of evil corruptness all you can do is just focus on your self. and local and state politics.
*me flirting with girls* “hey can you take this nasal spray please”
Ryan's Rants Just say ”Hey Vsauce Michael Here”
@@masken8355 Oh my god 😂😂
This comment is so underrated tho 😂
Or offer some mdma :) less awkward
I thought your name says Ryan's Pants for a sec there...
The fact that Michal used cringe is amazing
I’ve never seen this one before but by far one of the best VSauce videos ever
6:37 just imagine being on a first date and the other person body instinctively contracts into a protective fetal position because of an awkward silence
Lol this is the funniest comment here.
underrated comment... :D
HAHAHAHAHA laughed at this for prob 10 minutes
Lmao
Call dat bish a rolli-polli
What is awkwardness:
First, lets talk about *speed of light*

Awkwardness is having the same profile picture as the guy on top of you
Great Video. Even though it takes a lot more to "overcome" awkwardness than knowing about these concepts, it really made me think different about social interaction. Next time I feel the "pain", I will have that in mind. Thanks!
Years of listening to you these are the best
