What does being socially awkward feel like?

Yet many of us are shy and socially introverted. We feel awkward around unfamiliar people, unsure of what to say, or worried about what others might think of us. This can cause us to avoid social situations, cut ourselves off from others, and gradually become isolated and lonely.

Are introverts socially awkward?

Although introverts do generally need -- and enjoy -- more solitude than their extroverted counterparts, the idea that introverts are antisocial or dont want the company of others is completely false. They just tend to enjoy social interaction in a different way than extroverts do.
