We all have those instances that are so cringeworthy, they make you want to crawl under a rock. You know, like that one time you smiled flirtatiously at the cute guy on the subway, only to realize he was smiling at the girl behind you? Yup, those times. We've all experienced them, and they're inevitable, but instead of going through life trying to avoid these moments or stressing out about them, take them in stride and learn to not take yourself too seriously. It's OK to laugh at yourself sometimes. After all, it's part of what makes you human, and one day (long after the trauma has subsided), you may even appreciate them for making you a stronger person. Keep reading to get a laugh out of these 10 totally relatable awkward moments, and the next time you find yourself in a similar situation, remember it's not the end of the world!

Or even worse, falling. For no reason. On a busy sidewalk.

Nothing is more mortifying than realizing a nanosecond too late that you sent that catty/whiny/totally inappropriate text to someone it definitely wasn't meant for.

The one time you mess up your perfect parallel-parking streak happens to be in front of a crowded cafe full of people sitting outside. Classic.

Being introduced to someone new can be an awkward situation in itself, but it's especially painful if you're in the middle of talking to a friend when your friend's acquaintance approaches and your friend makes a hasty getaway, leaving the two of you alone. Just as bad? When a third person joins your conversation and completely dominates it, leaving you standing there awkwardly.

We're all guilty of the casual (or not-so-casual) cyberstalking, whether it's an ex's new love interest or an old friend you lost touch with over the years. But it's game over when you realize you just double-tapped.

Whether it's from a hilarious text or just because a random funny thought popped into your head, laughing out loud while you're sitting by yourself on the subway or bus never fails to elicit a few strange looks.

It's pretty awkward when the hostess calls your name and three other people step forward. Same goes for picking up your drink at the coffee counter.

Don't you hate when you see someone you know and try to say hi, but they're totally oblivious? It's pretty satisfying once you do get their attention — even if it took you yelling at the top of your lungs and sprinting through traffic to do it.

As if you thought having your size on display was bad enough, now everyone knows how much you spent (or didn't spend).

No, you're not a noob or a tourist — you just spaced out for a second.
