Just had a weird and awkward interview for a role I want. Is it weird to acknowledge that it was weird and awkward in my follow up?

No, I would pretend it didn’t happen if you really want the role.

Maybe thank them for taking the time to meet with you right before the holiday break as you can appreciate how busy it can be wrapping up the year. That being said, you’d love to chat further once they get situated in the new year. Happy holidays. Done

Mentioning it will make it weirder, just move forward like it’s all good. Did you make a weird joke or something ?

I would phrase it differently. Say you weren’t on top of your game that day, or that you wished you had more chance to speak about xyz. Ask for a do-over. If the interviewer had a mixed experience as well, they might give you a second chance.

They may not have noticed so mentioning it could make them feel awkward

Weird how? I’d consider it as a red flag

Weird as in it was the Friday before the office closed all week and you could tell the person I met with had no interest in talking to me because of that

Highly recommend learning your attachment style and emotional mindfulness before stepping into a new relationship or trying to date.
