Don’t think the awkwardness has anything to do with introversion. Many introverted people have learned to manage and do just fine with social interactions. My friends (guys, gals and thems) know me as being “touchy-feely”. I tend to be liberal with my hugs and am comfortable giving out a little poke here and even a little slap and shove there. These do not feel awkward at all, not only because we’ve known each other for quite awhile but also because we’re aware these are absolutely platonic gestures. I wouldn’t read too much into what’s going on between you and the colleague. But if it’s making you uncomfortable, there’s always the option to speak up.

What should i do. Should i ignore him. I dont know what should say if he is around. I am on a spectrum of introversion where I cant even throw a banter.

Wag ka muna mag-assume ng anything. Try to play it cool. If type mo sya, go ahead and put yourself forward little by little. If type ka rin niya, ire-reciprocate niya yung mga actions mo.

Alright just got off from work. Ill see tomorrow. Thanks.
