Being awkward is hard because sometimes it can be mistaken for being stand-off-ish. When in reality you just don't say anything because you don't know what to say, amirite?
People often tell me I remind them of Sheldon Cooper and at first I'm like "Oh thanks!" and then I realise how much of a back handed compliment that is and I'm like http://ctrlv.in/101317
I always thought the being-awkward part came after the standing-there-not-saying-anything part, when you decide to open your mouth and what comes out makes no sense whatsoever, or is otherwise untoward.
Story of my life..

And sometimes it isn't that you can't think of what to say, it's just people aren't saying anything worth commenting on.

When I was in middle school people thought I was stuck up because I didn't talk to them - it was really cause I was too shy.
That happens to me a lot.
