Why do I feel awkward around new people?

Well, i'm telling you right now there is nothing wrong with you or who you are, I used to feel the same way that you do but you have to look at people from a different perspective, when your with new people, do you think that you don't want to say the wrong thing or that you dont want them to think your weird? well, i can tell you right now that being yourself is what you need to be, you should never change for another person so don't feel like you have to be someone else to get people to think your cool because if your just being yourself nothing is wrong. Love yourself and who you are, then, i can guarantee you'll be able to put on smile with out effort at all.
