personally I think it sounds more inviting, and really says the same things you've said before, just with a different tone...


the other thing I'd say is that you continually refer to yourself as 'awkward' akward according to whom? awkward is relative to environment. ..

im super awkward depending on which group im in, for example dance classes I have zero confidence in my rhythm and abilities, so I barely even converse, im sure everyone there sees me as a shy nerd.

however put me with a group of coworkers who I have something in common with im all the sudden less awkward,

my point is, find a place or activity where you feel most comfortable and try to get someone to join you or meet others there. It's amazing when your into an activity that you like tend to be more yourself and not as focused on others around you.

everyone feels awkward at times, doesn't mean that person is awkward
