Heck no. I don't care about other people's opinion enough for me to feel awkward around them.

That's a great quote :) And no, I wouldn't consider myself socially awkward. Everyone who is self conscious to the point where social interaction seems scary remember one thing; NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING OR WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. Most of the time people are preoccupied with the same insecurities.
I'm not, and I'm proud of that. I can talk to anyone and I'm generally a well-liked person. Sorry if I sound like a douche. I'm just friendly and I make people laugh. I'm happy with it.
My sister however, is the absolute opposite. She is two years older than me, which is 24, and she cannot speak to ANYone... It's really pathetic. I get annoyed with her pretty easily.
I was more so freshman year, but now as a senior I've overcome that wall that prevented me from being social. But my friends still somewhat see me as an awkward, Michael Cera-type.
No, I'm not. I'm introverted though, so I don't really like to be around people all the time -- but when I need/want to be social, it's not really a big deal.
Yeah I am..I was always a bit but since I suffered from depression it has got 100x worse. Since then I've been getting better..touch wood. And it very much varies on what mood I'm in.
I am very awkward around people I don't usually talk to. I start to stutter, my voice goes in and out, and I generally look like an idiot.Steak_And_Eggs
I am not socially awkward, but I am not totally relaxed when talking to people. I lean towards being confident talking to people, but sometimes social situations just annoy me and I enjoy being alone.
I am, but really just to people I don't know. Approach/first time talking to someone is what nerve-wrecks me the most. That, and when I completely forget what I was talking about or don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm a listener, not a life of the party. Never have much to say but the occasional really funny joke (Decent at improv.)

i do too. Its just because i have seen so many people on the road and stuff especially on my gigs and shows but it just depends who im around.
It really depends on two things for me: 1. Sleep 2. Self-esteem/ Self-conscious If I feel tired and get 6-7 hours of sleep, I find it hard to interact with people, especially early in the school day or at late rugby practices. On weekends when I get 8.5-9 hours, I feel like I could rule the world lol. The second point more relates to being out in the public. I've began to take care of myself a lot more i.e. eating healthy, getting regular haircuts, brushing my teeth, lifting weights, and I am a pretty attractive guy :P (not to brag). I just try to be generally a more calm and cool person too as of lately, instead of having a "crazy" mentality. When it comes to the drinks and maryjane though, people absolutely love me lolz
I've always been a bit socially awkward but I don't let it bother me if people don't like it they can stick it where the sun don't shine :P. Just be yourself and don't let anyone influence you otherwise.
Im never socially ackward because i think outside the box wen i socialize so im a little random but entertaining. but when im high from sum of that dank i get very socially awkward. everything i say is forced becus i truely dont feel like socializing and im all self concious its noticable i lose my confidence. then i speak to people like i cant relate to them and i look zoned out uninterested in talking. but in the end i dont care. im not living to entertain anyone so i have no motivation to speak with people when im high.

That's pretty much my problem.
Oh and have this ever happen to you? When I go out, I feel very awkward, but as I talk to few people (at the checkouts etc) I get more confident, but still a bit awkward?
I don't find much use in socializing. I mainly request information or teach. Sometimes I request help, when it is absolutely necessary. Socializing as humans normally do is a waste of time to me. I rather play some games or so. So yes, I am socially awkward, and that is fine with me.
I suppose I am in the sense that if I'm in a new environment and there are a lot of people around whom I'm not familiar with then I will keep to myself and stay fairly quiet and probably find an excuse to leave early and go home to watch a movie. However if there are a decent amount of people around that I know, then I tend to be quite boisterous and somewhat the life of the party as I can be quite manic and silly.
I don't socialize with people a lot but doesn't mean i don't have friends. I hate it when people tell me to introduce myself to other people because having lots of friends is cool and that stuff.
For me I think it has to do with how many people are in the room. If it's one on one I'll be more inclined to talk more. 5-10 people I'll comment every now and then, anything more then that, and it's irritating so I just wait for it to be over.

Yes? Depends. I worked sales for a little while and when I did I felt pretty natural when it came to being formal with the customers, but beyond that, I suppose its more difficult when I have no guidelines.
From my experience, there are those who are shy because they don't want to make a fool of themselves, and those that are shy because they genuinely dislike people. I fall into the former. I love people, I like attention; however, I fail at getting it.
