Qual é a diferença entre awkward e embarrassed ?

Question

cyrismustang · Accepted Answer

Embarrassment is when you feel guilt and shame, usually as a result of something wrong you've done.
Awkwardness is the result of an uncomfortable social situation.  It may or may not be embarrassing.

Here is an example with two people, Mike and Amy.
"I want to go out with Amy, but when I went up to her I couldn't even say a word.  It was awkward and embarrassing..." - Mike
"Mike came up to me today, but he just stood there and said nothing.  It was really awkward..." - Amy

Mike feels embarrassment due to his lack of skill in the social situation.
Amy does not feel embarrassment since she did nothing wrong, but the situation is also uncomfortable for her.

emilyphough · Answer

For now, you can use both terms interchangeably since the difference is so subtle.

anastasialines · Answer

They can be confusing as they are related and are both feelings.

Awkward is when you feel uncomfortable or make somebody else uncomfortable. 
"There was an awkward silence between them."
"The fighting couple made the whole restaurant feel awkward."

Embarrassed is when you do something or something happens that you instantly regret. 
"The little girl was embarrassed that she had fallen in mud."
"I was embarrassed when you caught me singing in the shower."

dreamboi · Answer

Embarrassment is about feeling any type of universal shame or shyness, whereas awkwardness really implies a specific type of social discomfort in a situation or interaction. You can be embarrassed by something without it necessarily being awkward; however, awkwardness is more a specific type of embarrassment based on a violation of social norms.

Betty_Ortiz · Answer

Awkward can describe the way people feel, but can also describe an event or a situation. You can say "I felt embarrassed" or "I felt awkward", but you can also say "it was an awkward conversation". If something is embarrassing, it is nearly always something you wish had not happened.

Trey_Sama · Answer

awkward is a very "strange" feeling. its like if you meet someone new and talk about how horrible your x was ...just to realise the person your talking to is now dating your x ... awkward city...

embarrassing in like when you spill coffee on your new shirt just before your date...

it almost seems like awkward is like a more advanced version of embarresment

ScarletFox · Answer

embarrassment does not have to be due to regret or guilt. You can feel embarrassed for, say, you go to school with bright pink shoes on. Let's pretend some people at the school make fun of you. being made fun of about your shoes can make you embarrassed.
You can feel embarrassed due to OTHER people's actions. It doesn't necessarily come from you.

BansheeIsMyName · Answer

@karen “Embarrassed” can be an emotion. “I was so embarrassed when the teacher scolded me in front of the whole class.” You may feel embarrassed, or you may cause another person to feel embarrassed (“I embarrassed him by slapping his face in front of his boss.”)

Awkward often means “clumsy.” “I danced so awkwardly that I felt embarrassed.” Situations can be awkward too (“It was awkward when my boyfriend and I ran ran into his ex-girlfriend at the movie theater.”) In that sense, awkward situations are situations that may make us feel uncomfortable either physically or emotionally.

Kawea · Answer

Awkward is the feeling of discomfort when you or someone you see are acting in a way that breaks social norms or appear uncoordinated (either physically or socially).

Embarrassed is the feeling of shame and humiliation when you become self conscious about your actions or appearance, feeling that you will lose social value.

I hope the helps! I know there are a lot of answers so I tried to be as specific as possible.
