This is awkward: Your most insecure pals may save your life

Mouth-breathers, eye contact avoiders and that girl who always stands way too close to whoever she’s talking to: Come sit by me. A recent study suggests that the exact attributes that make the most awkward folks in your life so very, very awkward are the same traits that may enable them to save your life someday, reports MyHealthNewsDaily.

Anti-social people — those who are especially insecure or anxious, or those who tend to avoid relationships — were faster at detecting and responding to a potentially dangerous situation, according to the research, which was published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.
