I think most of us feel like this…. well, those of us who navel-gaze, at least. It reminds me, sort of, of my boyfriend’s favourite cartoon, that he thinks of every time he goes into a meeting. In the cartoon, it’s a dude in a suit walking into a board meeting full of other dudes in suits, and he’s thinking “EEP! Grownups!”

I think feeling/being Awkward is just a sign or a symptom of being different than the middle ground folks. And each of us has our own brand of it. We’re all just pretending to be grownups (well, when we need to).
