  • An unexpected awkward moment: situations in life that are clumsy or terrible cause disgust or inconvenience.
  • Untacky social relationships: For example, when a person behaves or expresses himself in such a way that others feel unpleasant or uncomfortable, for example, unhealthily speaks about someone or obsessively tries to start a conversation.
