I think socially awkward people tend not to like to give away things about themselves, so they come across as pretty unreadable: they are quiet, keep poker faces and tend not to move around or gesture when they can help it. This can be quite unnerving for other people, because they find it hard to tell what the awkward person’s thinking. Without clues, people tend to project their own fears and things onto the ‘blank slates’ of emotionless people and worry that they are judging them or seeing through their social performance.
Yep. This is why I hate awkward people (and I can say this because once upon a time I was/still am kind of awkward)

(While in LA I also learned about the Portland, OR, store tradition of handing you a beer while you browse records. This is a marvelous innovation that I hope NYC picks up on soon, hint hint, Word/Greenlight/McNally.)
