You apologize when you don’t need to apologize. You draw negative attention to yourself. You don’t pick up on body language.

5. You get distracted easily
“Not paying attention. Socially awkward people tend to zone out often, stop looking at people in the eye, keep on thinking about stuff, stare at their phone while others are talking and when someone mentions them they suddenly wake up not knowing how to react. Staying awake even though you don’t give a shit of the current topic is a critical skill.” — chic_luke
6. You never take initiative
“Not taking the initiative. I hear a lot of people complain that they don’t have friends and, particularly, that nobody wants to hang out with them. But they’re always waiting for someone else to ask them to hang out or grab a bite to eat. It sucks and is scary, and sure, the other person could say no, but if you take the initiative you’re more likely to make friends.” — Ayzmo
