“I tend to get awkward infront of people. Idk where to look or what to do when I'm with people. Like I lose co trol of myself and get nervous. Deep in my head I'm always worried about what others will think about me or how my appearance look. I get anxiety. Also while walking in the street or in my college I get awkward all the time and while having conversations with people i can't really maintain eye contact and sometimes I starte too much and make them feel uncomfortable. Is this normal or I'm alone?:(”

No i feel the same. Its very hard and its harder to explain to people like i know its not life threatening to just step out and talk to people but it feels that way . I think its normal because many people go through this .. there can be so many reasons for it and its okay to be like this . I found 1 friend who is very kind and non judgemental and its easy to talk to him. And then i meet his friends because of him and talking in a group or just being ina group is less scary than talking to other people. Also i just look at their nose or my hands or surroundings and nodding .. but slowly if you are around such situations and people more it gets easier . It feels like any other skill like i didn't met people for more than 8 months and i forgot to talk to people and tospeak without overthinking every word
but slowly you get okay as you interact with people more .
