Everyone feels awkward in social situations, sometimes — even the people who seem totally at-ease around other people.
Socializing comes more naturally to some people, but almost everyone has to work to maintain their social skills.
Maybe, for you, socializing is extra stressful. Is it social anxiety? Social avoidance? Social awkwardness?
It doesn’t really matter how we define the inability to just naturally feel comfortable in social settings. What matters is what we do to alleviate it.
When we struggle with social skills, we may avoid social situations and that can affect how we build relationships.
