If I'm the one who always seems to start conversations with a person then it might get odd because then I feel like they don't like me even if they do.
Also if the people are talking about something that's not of my interest of course I wouldn't have much to say. So I just listen and try to get to know them and then my true self will come out more, unless I find out that we really don't have any of the same interests.
Plus I know I am a crazy person in a good way but it probably seems awkward to others.
But I'm sure everybody has their socially awkward times. Nobody is perfect, so why try to be. :)
I agree with what you're saying. I think I'm a mixture of the two as well. I like talking to people but coming up with a topic is difficult. If they don't want to talk about what I suggests then it gets pretty difficult trying to come up with a topic. Plus you have to keep them interested in your company. I like it when I interview people for class because then the topic is already established. Over all social settings are pretty hard to manage. However, as you said nobody is perfect. As long as you look the person in the eye and show interest in their lives, I think the conversation should go fine.
Also of course if you pressure yourself not to be awkward, it will just make it more awkward. I can't tell you that I haven't done that a few times. ha
Honestly, I'll talk about anything with someone. I've grown to love awkward situations, especially if I'm the cause of it. From experience I've learned that the only way a conversation is awkward is if you make it so.
Do you consider yourself socially awkward?

Yes and no.

Yep for sure.
