Liam's Guide to Sitting Awkwardly--Liam M

Step 1.
Walk into a crowded room of people and sit on the floor Indian style - preferably just slightly inside a circle of previously seated persons already engaged in conversation. This also works best if you are slightly acquainted with the group, but not yet comfortable enough to hug any of them without feeling slightly embarrassed.
Step 2.
Interject loudly with an unrelated factoid - or personal experience only slightly related to the previous conversation, better yet to a conversation that had ended minutes ago.
Step 3.
Stare at floor in front of you and exhale slowly through mouth while waiting for group to recover from your interruption.
Step 4.
When group has recovered you may repeat the second step, or stand to leave walking though the circle on your way to another group to repeat Step 1.

*Note – this also works while standing.
