awkward stage

usually between sometime in middle school to high school (or if you're SUPER unlucky, college, whereas then you might just be an awkward person at that point) where you do socially unacceptable things and don't realize how unacceptable they are until you look back many years later and realize how nerdy/socially unacceptable/odd you were. symptoms include: public displays of white girls trying to act ghetto and shopping at wet seal and males with an uncanny obsession with a card/video game with fictional characters
