How to Disappear When Awkwardness Strikes

Step 1: Spot the Disaster

Smile’s fake.

They’re oversharing.

Time to vanish.

Step 2: Glitch Hard

Freeze like a bad wifi.

Say:

“Gotta go feed my thoughts.”

Confuse. Blur. Fade.

Step 3: Silent Mode

Don’t talk.

Don’t laugh.

Stare at your drink like it’s magic.

(It’s not.)

Step 4: Distract

Point behind them:

“Is that… regret?”

When they spin, slip away.

Step 5: Ghost

Leave this line:

“Air just got louder. Weird.”

Then vanish.

Bye.

Warning:

May cause dignity boost or social exile.

Choose wisely.
