I get moments where I sense the other person finds the silence or pause awkward, but I personally don't. If I sense they do, I'm quite able to diffuse it.

I have a kind of torsion going on with my social skills... in the one sense I know from experience and am confident I can diffuse most things and get along with most people, and carry them along on my energy and stuff... on the other hand, just before I'm actually about to begin that situation I have a moment of intense self-doubt. I wouldn't call it awkwardness per se... but nervousness perhaps yeah. But I dare myself and shove myself forward and from then on it's all cool.
