Why LinkedIn Networking Feels Awkward

This lesson explains why LinkedIn networking often feels more uncomfortable than in-person professional conversation. The awkwardness usually comes from unclear context, fear of seeming transactional, public visibility, and uncertainty about what the other person expects.

You will learn to separate normal social friction from genuine poor etiquette, so you can approach LinkedIn with more confidence. The goal is not to become slick or overly polished, but to understand the platform well enough to act with tact, relevance, and a distinctly human tone.
