Actually, it's very different, precisely because most people can control social awkwardness, and further, a socially awkward person by definition can be difficult to work with others, which is a major component to just about any job.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> precisely because most people can control social awkwardness This is a wild generalisation at best. I know many people with crippling social awkwardness that they would give anything to be able to control to any degree but they can't. > a socially awkward person by definition can be difficult to work with others This I will concede is more true than not.
