awkward and all thumbs, clumsy, like a bull in a china shop, socially awkward, callow, uncultured, tactless, inelegant, uncouth, inept, inexperienced, graceless, maladroit, not comfortable with other people

Example

Psychologist Ty Tashiro notes in his book Awkward: The Science of Why We’re Socially Awkward and Why That’s Awesome that socially awkward people tend to view the world around them in different ways.

They may be less likely to notice social cues, but feel more driven toward systematic or scientific approaches. This unique perspective may stem from differences in the brain — differences that sometimes relate to high intelligence and achievement, according to Tashiro.

Awkward or gauche people’s minds tend to make them natural scientists because they are good at seeing details, picking up on patterns in these details, and taking a systematic approach to problems,” he writes.
