Your awkward happens when you care. It's evidence of love and self awareness. That's a good thing, that's another reason I want to get to know you better.
I guess it's okay to feel awkward, I'd rather feel that way and be real than any other. The authentic me loves deeply, laughs often and cries at the sorrow of others. I get emotionally attached and show my soul as if it were a movie... but hey, that's me, wearing "awkward" as if it were my own exclusive label.
Emotionally indifferent people, the cold hearts, they don't feel awkward the way you do. You are warm within, vulnerable and real. That's why I love you. You are sensitive. I could spend eternity with a soul such as yours. So, all that awkwardness, be proud of it, but I expect that in time you'll learn true confidence. That's what happens when you gain self belief.
The sweet ones are always awkward. It's a badge of honour to us.
