I have a tendency to feel apologetic for being awkward and tongue tied but I have learned that people don't like hearing "I'm sorry." It just comes off as annoying to other people and it's better to just try to go with the flow, awkwardness and all.
Similar to this, I've learned that it's better to be confidently awkward rather than being awkward about being awkward.
