Maybe you could be like Aubrey and just embrace your awkwardness.
But yeah, it will probably always be hard. Maybe a little easier eventually if you found the right therapist for you to work through it. But that probably wouldn't be easy in any regard.
But when dealing with people with difficulties and disabilities and social issues, etc, people are like those awkward people, in that they don't know what to say. They just repeat stupid shit that other people have said, like that shit about just getting over it and shit.
It may be that I slightly might have exaggerated my awkwardness. But no matter how calm I really might look and behave when meeting someone, my thoughts in my head always go exactly like that. And the third person in me who just listens on the background, is having a hilarious time.
