Realize that you're not alone. You may think that every person in your orbit is socially smooth, but in reality, most people worry about being socially awkward in public. They worry about whether or not people like them, whether they're making a good impression, or whether people are bored by them. You may think that some people around you just naturally exude confidence and never have to worry about how they come off, but every person is insecure about some aspect of social interaction. We all want to be liked and have friends.
