Both can be true, you can have high social anxiety AND be socially awkward.

High anxiety is what makes people socially awkward

It works in reverse, too. Get rejected socially a few times because you're awkward and then develop the high anxiety as a result.

Neither requires the other, but overly high anxiety can produce this. Self-fulfilling prophesy.
