Making new friends is never easy—especially if you’re a little nervous or a bit awkward. As someone who has earned the title of Queen of Awkward, I can certainly relate to the feeling of putting your most genuine self out there, only to be met with rejection.
It turns out that a Miniature Australian Cattle Dog named Norma feels the same way. Even though she tries to show her true self, making friends hasn’t been quite so easy for her.
Norma’s Attempt to Befriend Another Pup
Norma’s attempt to make friends is nothing short of adorable, even if a little awkward. In a viral TikTok video, she can be seen trying to befriend another dog in the sweetest, most awkward way. Despite her nervousness, Norma scoots toward the other dog in an effort to let them know that she’s friendly and means no harm.
It’s hard not to feel touched by this innocent, pure-hearted attempt to connect. Her actions are a perfect reminder that trying to be ourselves—no matter how awkward—deserves appreciation.
As Norma’s mom, Natalie, notes in the video, the other dog’s reaction may have been influenced by an invisible fence, but it doesn’t take away from how genuine Norma’s attempt was. Despite the other dog stepping back, Norma’s effort to reach out is something many of us can relate to. She deserves all the love and friendship in the world.
Norma’s Growing Fanbase
Norma’s charm isn’t just making waves with her family—she’s gaining a lot of love from viewers too. Many people are expressing how much they connect with her awkward approach to making friends. One TikTok user commented, “I get it, bestie. I try to make friends the same way,” while another wrote, “To crouch down to not look intimidating! Oh my heart.”
And let’s not forget about the adorable flower backpack she’s wearing. It’s the perfect accessory that elevates her cuteness to the next level—turning her from a sweet dog into an absolute star.
The Real Norma
Is Norma always this angelic? Yes, but in a way that emphasizes her endearing awkwardness. I love how she unapologetically embraces her quirks, and it’s clear that many others do too.
If you’re wondering about the level of awkwardness, Norma’s mom, Natalie, jokingly said in the video, “If I didn’t know better, I’d think she was rabid.” But don’t worry—Norma’s just a dog trying her best to be herself.
A Friend in the Future
I’m hopeful that one day, Norma will find that one friend who’s as awkward as she is. Together, they’ll make the most precious and quirky duo, and everyone else will miss out on experiencing the magic of true friendship.
Until then, we’ll just keep rooting for this sweet Mini Aussie to find her perfect companion.
