I did not make this, but I thought I should share it with the WP community. Much of our social awkwardness comes from our anxiety and our negative self image.

I agree. I think the put on a smile part is a little silly. I think that regardless of a smile, behavior isn't always as awkward as it feels like it is. Holding the door for a ton of strangers, for example. You don't have to smile, but no one think's you're weird, they just think you're polite.

it's possible to be socially awkward but not worry about it.
