Why does social anxiety make body movements look awkward and clumsy?

Jeez this is really frustrating how can I just get rid of it without therapy or medication?

It looks awkward and clumsy probably because your focus is on yourself and your movements.

Like you don't really notice how your tongue is placed in your mouth until you think about it, and how you don't notice your nose out of your eyes when you see, but when you think about it, it suddenly becomes noticeable.

I don't know how to cure social anxiety at all.
But I did see a video of someone talking about it would help if you start to focus on external things around you, instead of internally inside you.
Like, start to focus on things that are around you, describe them to yourself and stuff. That should help.

Find a way to ground yourself. Take your situation and make it small. Life is short and the only thing that matters is what we leave behind. Easier said than done though.

Practice makes perfect. Just do your best in social situations, don't avoid them (but don't force them, that won't help), and over time you'll get more experience.
