One thing that I almost always come back to is that there is a healthy amout of awkwardness necessary to make a relationship work well. If you're never willing to be in a place of discomfort, than you can't confront relational problems head on, but if you can overcome the awkwardness and get into something deeper, the relationship just gets that much better.
Also it helps to acknowledge our Lord's seeming awkward tension with the culture around Him, and yet, His complete confidence to walk through the world as a truth that didn't mesh well with society. I can live in security, even in awkward moments, knowing that they don't define me, He does.
