Kimazui

I can easily create an 'kimazui' (気まずい) atmosphere.

'Kimazui' is an adjective that describes a situation where you and the other person are uncomfortable; it just can be translated as "awkward."

Since 'ki' (気) means "feeling" and 'mazui' (まずい) means "uncomfortable," 'kimazui' literally means "feel uncomfortable."

When you are in a 'kimazui' atmosphere with someone, you may resolve the awkwardness by daring to say something like 'kimazui desune' (気まずいですね - "It's uncomfortable, isn't it?").

However, please be careful, as it might make things even more awkward.
気まずい

私は「気まずい」空気を作るのが得意です。

「気まずい」は、自分と相手の気持ちがしっくりと合わず、不快であるさまを表す形容詞です。

「気」は "feeling"、「まずい」は "uncomfortable" を意味するので、「気まずい」は文字どおり "feel uncomfortable" という意味になります。

気まずい雰囲気になったときには、あえて「気まずいですね」と言うことで気まずさをある程度解消できるかもしれません。

しかし、余計に気まずくなる恐れもあるので、注意が必要です。
