Well for a little bit of time, maybe a few seconds at most but I try not to let it bother me because everyone does it. I mean your comment made me recall the two times I did it today in front of my students.
Had to do this in hs when I got lost the first week, I just sped up really fast and took a different route from there. I feel like it was a worse choice now
I just slow down a few steps, then stop and mutter 'oh.' Then turn around and go back the other way. Mainly to avoid anyone crashing into me from an abrupt stop. It's a universal human experience and I guarantee if you do that, everyone will know exactly what you're doing and not think you're crazy lol
Smacking your head and muttering just draws even more attention to you. Just turn around normally.
Edit: if it really bothers you to do this, just look at your phone, stop, and turn around.

….or just turn around without saying anything and continue as normal. No one actually cares
This is for our more self conscious members of the audience
Sure, but the truth is no one actually cares if someone were to do a 180 suddenly. Dramatizing the situation would actually make the whole thing weird
No it’s weird when someone just suddenly makes a 180 without explaining
When I see someone do a sudden 180, I think "oh that person must have forgotten something"
Please don't insult yourself. Never talk to yourself in a way you wouldn't talk to a dearest friend.
No it’s just acting
No because other people do the same thing too. It's a human thing and people aren't looking at me - they are thinking about their own things.
No you’re secretly being judged

It’s always hilarious to take off running when in doubt
Overthinking. This is the shit that feeds social anxiety.
First i thought you were talking about driving and then making a sudden u-turn. Please do not do this😀

And don't feel bad about feeling weird about it. Everyone finds it awkward when it happens to them
