Long ago, I used to worry about situations where I do awkward things (and was pretty awkward), but then I remembered everybody else is too busy worrying about themselves looking awkward to really care about my awkwardness. I stopped being strongly awkward after that, and of course I’m much happier—it was probably the one “turning point” in my life where I went from anxious/unhappy to calm/happy. (It was at about the age of 12, IIRC)
