A Socially Awkward Hero is a heroic character who shows tremendous courage in the face of life-threatening danger... but becomes overwhelmed with knees-knocking fear in ordinary social situations. For such a character, confronting a legion of sociopaths and a chainsaw-wielding maniac is far preferable to meeting his girlfriend's family or making idle chitchat at a cocktail party. Extremely common in shows for the kid and teen audiences, since viewers of that age often feel socially awkward themselves.
This is to some extent Truth in Television; studies have shown that social situations can be stressful in the extreme, and that people can (literally) prefer death to public embarrassment; but even that being considered, some examples of this seem to be parodies of this concept, nonetheless.
Often a feature of the Defective Detective and Endearingly Dorky. Audiences may find this character Adorkable. Compare and contrast This Loser Is You and Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World. See also No Social Skills.
Contrast the Super Loser, whose personality remains consistently disappointing regardless of whatever badass power they might have.

Sherlock as Best Man—during the reception, after John and Mary are wed—stumbles through an incidence of public speaking in which social grace is required. He doesn't inflict (or self-inflict) as much humiliation as expected: to all in attendance, a relief. But Holmes, one expects, is more relieved when it becomes a higher priority to determine which guest is a murderer, and who the intended target might be.

Less: Arthur Less is, at one point, described as being so constantly anxious that, "Because he is afraid of everything, nothing is harder than anything else. Taking a trip around the world is no more terrifying than buying a stick of gum. The daily dose of courage."

Taylor, the protagonist of Worm, starts out very shy and inept at most forms of social interaction, but over the course of the story, she gains confidence in herself and becomes and an adept manipulator. Even then, however, many of her neuroses linger, and she is almost pathologically incapable of trusting anyone else.
Armsmaster's general personality and fall from grace are informed by his almost pathological inability to relate to other people or avoid committing social faux-pas. Later on he has to be literally coached through a conversation in real time to avoid saying the wrong things to a grief-stricken local sheriff.

Over the Garden Wall: Wirt frequently manages to take heroic action in the Unknown, despite the fact that he is, in Beatrice's words, "a real loser back home." It turns out that he ended up in the Unknown in the first place while fleeing in embarrassment after his crush got her hands on the poetry recordings he'd made for her. In general, he fears imminent danger far less than the threat of, for instance, social humiliation at a party.

Shuichi Saihara in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony serves as this this in the prologue of the game. Being a detective? Sure. Solving a murder and finding the culprit? Any day. But speaking with people? No thank you. Despite being usually calm, he is abnormally timid when it comes to speaking with others, as he tends to blush a lot and prefers not to meet with other people's eyes, even going as far as to wear a hat to hide his own. He also has a really low self esteem.

Daughter of the Lilies: Thistle is an extremely powerful mage who won't hesitate to fling fireballs or encroaching ivy vines at her enemies. Outside of battle, she's a shy, stuttering, insecure mess, which is heavily implied to be due to past abuse and insecurity over being a member of a widely reviled race of elves.

Arturia Pendragon is depicted as this oh so much in A Knight's Tale as Inquisitor, and with good reason: having spent much of her life trying to be the perfect king for her kingdom and its people also meant throwing away any notion of actually being human. With those obligations no longer bounding her, Arturia is doing her best to completely rise above this trope so she doesn't have to be alone this time around.

Angel was even more socially awkward, especially once he outgrew the Mysterious Protector role and became the star of his own show. His ability to switch from "brooding, tortured anti-hero" to "complete dork" on a dime was a Running Gag.

Malcolm Reed from Star Trek: Enterprise is an expert at combat from hand-to-hand to ship-to-ship, can face any sort of danger with a Stiff Upper Lip, and will sacrifice himself for his ship and crewmates if necessary. Off-duty, however, he can't make small talk with Captain Archer — or, for that matter, anybody except Trip — and all of his attempts at romance have failed because of his inability to open up to others.

Dexter: Dexter Morgan doesn't just have trouble relating to people, he DOESN'T relate to people. Though most acquaintances see him as normal enough, for Dexter, maintaining the image of a normal, everyday person with regular emotions and no hidden urge to kidnap, murder, and chop people to bloody bits can be an extremely stressful task.

Lammy, the protagonist of Um Jammer Lammy, is utterly unable to work up the confidence to talk to people without her nerves getting the better of her and causing her to stumble over everything she wants to say. However, she can perform such deeds as single-handedly putting out a fire or spontaneously figuring out how to fly a plane, as long as she imagines she's doing it with a guitar.

In Manehattan's Lone Guardian, Leviathan's combat prowess is never in doubt. She has a tendency to slip up when dealing with civilians, though, and social norms can escape her even at the best of times. In situations that involve non-violent physical contact, such as Drama Heart trying to hug her, she has to fight to keep from panicking.

Borderlands 3: Tannis turns out to be a Socially Awkward super-heroine as she becomes a non-playable Vault Hunter with eldritch superpowers, but devolves into further antisocial behavior. Her Action Skill implies that she managed to form an odd friendship with one of the most powerful beings in the Borderlands universe, Angel, quite possibly by connecting through a shared taste in objectophilia, as Angel decided that Tannis would take her Siren power after she died, but she's still the insane chair-dating insufferable genius you know and love.

Scott Pilgrim is this in spades, and beyond Scott, most of his friends also have their own problems:
Yes, Scott is the best fighter in the province, having fought against people with supernatural abilities, robots or whatever you may throw at him, all while being a somewhat confident, cheerful, and amicable person. Whenever Stephen Stills has a nervous breakdown or Kim begins acting surlier than usual, Scott is there to keep the band together as The Heart of the group. But put it on talking of his past, or about relationships, or even the future, and his awkwardness gets over the mark, with stutters, avoiding themes, and acting like a shy kid. He's maturing out of this, of course. He's a bit of an Unreliable Narrator, but it's not difficult to see when he is hiding details or such.
Kim Pine is somewhat misanthropic and grouchy toward her approach in life, becoming irritable, but she also hides insecurity on her appearance.
Steven Stills is a neurotic individual who tends to panic during band competitions and has an unhealthy habit of getting into a bad relationship with the same girl, Julie Powers.
Ramona Flowers has her insecurity regarding her situations.

Harry Potter has a moment of this in book 4: After facing a fierce and dangerous Hungarian Horntail in the first task, he finds himself thinking that "now that he was facing the prospect of asking a girl to the ball, he thought he'd rather have another round with the dragon." (He later manages to pick up two girls, spontaneously, at once. One to go with him and one with Ron, just so we're clear.) He also feels embarrassed or uncomfortable with excess attention from his peers due to his fame, and confides solely to his two best friends throughout most of the series.

The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden practically owns this trope. Despite having a crush on Murphy, it took him literal years to broach the subject. He has a major chivalrous streak that gets him in all kinds of trouble, though he's mostly set it aside. In his own words, he's essentially a magic nerd. There are also other key issues. As Harry is about 6'9" tall, he must move carefully or hurt someone. He can short out any technology from a radius of 100 feet on a bad day, and so spends a lot of time avoiding electronics. To avoid soulgazes, he never looks anybody directly in the eye. In a side story from Murphy's point of view, she mentions he gives the impression of being mildly autistic. It doesn't help that he hangs out with Thomas Raith. White Court Vampires are actually irresistible, so much that Thomas can't get a muggle job because he keeps getting his bones jumped.

Homicide: Life on the Street:
Detective Pembleton is finicky, anti-social, and takes great delight in verbally antagonizing people. All of this makes him very effective at his job, but not so much at socializing with his colleagues.
Brodie is a gentle, shy man who is very prone to stammering and is easily pushed around, which doesn't help his status as the unit's Butt-Monkey.

The Mandalorian sometimes comes off as an Aloof Ally, despite being polite and friendly, because he's so introverted and quiet with other people. Stick him in an unfamiliar social situation with chatty strangers, and Mando will either blurt out something incredibly blunt or he'll avoid talking as much as possible.

Doc Savage was raised from birth to be a hero and is both the greatest athlete and intellect on the planet, however, he has no idea how to deal with women. He does better with men, though.

Mr. Peabody & Sherman: After spending his entire life being taught about history and being immersed into diverse cultures, Sherman finds himself interacting (or trying to interact) with the people at his school. But it's when he has to talk to other kids his age that things become an imminent disaster.

Ayakashi Triangle:
Matsuri never had much of a social life outside of Suzu, and though training to became an exorcist ninja gave him great skill, it came at the cost of worsening his relationship even with her. Though Suzu managed to push him to make other friends, he can still be very shy and easily flustered by interpersonal problems.
Soga is even more fearless in battle, but even worse at dealing with people's mundane affairs, especially girls. His Face of a Thug doesn't help things.

Black Clover: Yuno is a prodigious mage who defeats many powerful enemies of the kingdom as a Magic Knight. Even as a child, Yuno was very shy and timid. Although he intentionally became more aloof and composed to never cry again, he's still very reserved, unable to converse with anyone who isn't Asta until he becomes closer to his squadmates, and at times moping whenever he doesn't want to answer something.

Egg is, without a doubt, one of the most heroic people around on AJCO, but stutters and stammers her way through any and all forms of social interaction and has always done so. Worth noting that while she might not be the best at conversation, she's getting alarmingly good at persuasion and diplomacy...

It is an informed aspect of Henry Townshend of Silent Hill 4. His neighbors think of him as a shut-in, which is why it takes a while for anyone to worry that he hasn't left his apartment in days. (It's up to the player whether Henry is a brave slayer of monsters or runs away from everything he sees, so this trope can be played straight or subverted.)

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zuko has never had any opportunity to become normally socialized as part of a Big, Screwed-Up Family, but he does improve a bit once he has his Heel–Face Turn and joins the True Companions. Stoic silence serves him in good stead while he's Walking the Earth in season two.
The Legend of Korra: Mako grew up on the streets of Republic City, doing everything he could to protect himself and his little brother, Bolin. As a result, he's very brash and dismissive of people he doesn't know, and isn't the best at conversation. He's not exactly in-touch with his feelings, either, not even noticing his growing crush on Korra until Asami, his girlfriend at the time, calls him out on it. Like Zuko, he does get better, but it takes a few seasons.

Sin City:
Marv is a Socially Awkward Anti-Hero. Ignoring his violent tendencies, even in his more civilized moods, he is socially inept, particularly when it comes to women — and being ugly as sin didn't really help his case either. This is why he was a virgin until late in life.
John Hartigan is a lesser example. His scenes with Nancy Callhan are awkward since she is throwing herself at him but he tries to remain celibate since there is a huge age gap between them. Later, when his narration states "When it comes to consoling a nineteen-year-old girl, I'm as competent as a palsy victim performing brain surgery with a hammer."

Cassandra "Cassie" Webb in Madame Web (2024). It's not quite No Social Skills, as Cassie at least has decent relationships with Ben and her other co-workers. Outside of that, she's deeply uncomfortable in social situations, tries to fob off a child thanking her for saving his mother on Ben (she even complains about the drawing he made her) and generally acts like an ass towards the girls as they initially get to know each other. By the end of the film she's grown out of it, viewing the girls as family more than anything else.

Liara, and to a lesser extent Tali, had this characterization from the beginning of the franchise, with Tali's romance in Mass Effect 2 having a high enough dose of stuttering awkwardness to risk a drive core breach. Oddly enough, in the Citadel meetups those two are among the most functional, probably because they've known Shepard long enough to get over it.

The final Mass Effect 3 DLC, "Citadel", shows what the galaxy's most lethal (and dysfunctional) soldiers do in their downtime. Several of them have been in training since childhood and hardly any have what you'd call good social skills. Case in point: Miranda Lawson has escaped an abusive father, raised the dead and survived a Suicide Mission by this point, but admits she has no idea what to do on a "normal" night out with a friend.

Then there's Garrus, one of the biggest badasses the Turian Hierarchy ever produced, who thinks "Come here often? I imagine anyone who does is probably an alcoholic" is exactly the right thing to say when trying to pick a girl up at the bar.

Samantha Traynor is one of the biggest examples in the series. Ironically, she's also a very good communication specialist.
Mass Effect: Andromeda has Alec Ryder, who despite being an N7 like Shepard and a certified genius capable of scratch-building his own AI was apparently totally incapable of talking to that cute scientist he liked. The way Elen Ryder told it, she approached him when it became clear to her he was never going to make the first move. Exactly whether this was true or not is unclear, but seeing his daughter Sara trying to flirt with Suvi lends a lot of credence to it.

Batman, at least as written by Chuck Dixon, doesn't really have a clue how to behave like a wealthy socialite in his civilian identity and finds hosting a Wayne Foundation party more stressful than taking on the Joker. Grant Morrison's take on the character has elements of this as well.

Odette from City of Somnus has been taken by The Fair Folk as a little girl and the first adult she interacted with in her life is, thankfully, Paollo. After he brings her to the human world again, though, Odette, who never hesitates from shielding Paollo from monsters with her own body, struggles to breathe in crowdy places, tends to think she's a bother (and Apologises a Lot for that) and generally sticks to her rescuer and his tight-knit group of friends rather than embarrass herself by talking to other people.
Paollo himself, while he's no Warrior Prince, seems much more comfortable finding his way in enchanted forests and facing monsters than attending fancy parties and charming nobles.

Batman is portrayed as such in the Tim Burton Batman movies. In his Bruce Wayne persona, he is noticeably awkward, and unsure how to act in social situations, contrasting with the charismatic Millionaire Playboy from the comics, although this IS Depending on the Writer. During his date with Vicki in the first film, he effectively has to go get Alfred to help him chat her up.

Star Trek
Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager saved the Enterprise at least twice and was significantly helpful to Voyager, yet had such social difficulty that his debut episode, "Hollow Pursuits", was dedicated to Geordi trying to arrest his withdrawal into a holographic fantasyland. (To be fair, it was his first appearance, before he was able to develop into the character that did all those other things).
Geordi La Forge himself admits that he can do almost anything with the technology on the Enterprise and work miracles with alien tech, but repeatedly falls apart when he's on a date.
Constable Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is an expert at dealing with smugglers, killers, and any other criminals on the station. Put him in a room with the highly flirtatious Lwaxana Troi, on the other hand...
Malcolm Reed from Star Trek: Enterprise is an expert at combat from hand-to-hand to ship-to-ship, can face any sort of danger with a Stiff Upper Lip, and will sacrifice himself for his ship and crewmates if necessary. Off-duty, however, he can't make small talk with Captain Archer — or, for that matter, anybody except Trip — and all of his attempts at romance have failed because of his inability to open up to others.
Star Trek: Picard: Elnor may be a Master Swordsman, but his "absolute candor" and naïveté regarding the galaxy beyond Vashti put him into Fish out of Water situations, especially during an undercover op.

David from The Reckoners Trilogy tends to fall into this. He was planning to buy a gun and shoot Steelheart at ten years old, but has trouble making simple conversation at a party. It's sort of justified, though, considering he lived in a weapons factory since he was eight and spent a lot of time studying for school and avenging his father.

Harry Vanderspeigle, alien protagonist of Resident Alien, can be rather socially awkward, especially after living with little outside contact for three years in order to protect his identity as an extraterrestrial. He's slowly overcoming it, though, as he interacts with the townspeople more.

Percy Jackson is a survivor of not one but two major supernatural wars, a savant with a sword, and has been speculated to be the most powerful demigod alive in modern-day. He also can barely speak to his crushes and is so socially obtuse that he regularly ignores other people's feelings simply because he can't fathom the effect he has on them. This can be blamed in part on his lonely childhood-he didn't cultivate social skills because he was too busy growing an iron spine so that bullying wouldn't bother him so much.

Superman, while his Clark Kent persona is a dead-ringer, modern writers have explained this as just a humble mid-western farmboy trying to cope with life in the big city, creating some genuine dorky moments when interacting with women—specifically Lois Lane. Depending on the Writer this can even cross over into Captain America levels of Dork Knight.

In Alice and the Nightmare, both main characters have signed up to become people who have to work under constant threat of monster attacks, but have tremendous problems with social interaction.
Alice, living a sheltered life right until the story starts, often has no idea how to react to people; it's most visible when Girl Posse latches onto her.
Edith is downright terrified of interacting with anyone. Considering the Fantastic Racism she has to put up with on a daily basis, it's not surprising.

My Hero Academia:
Protagonist Izuku Midoriya has no problems with running up to serial murderers, Yakuza members, and supervillains to punch them in the face if it means saving a life. Place him into any kind of remotely romantic situation and he turns into a gibbering puddle.
Tamaki Amajiki can use his Quirk extremely well and fight villains like an actual Pro. But for being one of U.A. High's Big Three, he's also a blatant Shrinking Violet who spends most of his social interactions hiding in a Corner of Woe.

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple:
Miu fits this trope prior to meeting Kenichi. She does well at school, has good skills in housework, and for the longest time is the best fighter in the series of her own age group, but due to her intense training and her social awkwardness (she instinctively throws Kenichi in their first meeting when the latter was approaching behind her while running towards school), she's never had any friends.
Kenichi himself fits this trope somewhat too, as his only real "friend" prior to the start of the series is a Manipulative Bastard who will suck up to whoever's the strongest at the time, whether it's one of the bullies, or later Kenichi himself.

He even has a panic attack in class when asked a question that he thinks is specifically aimed at him. However, he is much more comfortable around his family.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
Yami Yugi is normally very confident and fearless in any game, duel or life-threatening situation but when going on a date with Tea, he is very awkward (especially in the anime where he is actually flustered and yells at Yugi for switching on him into a situation that is not a duel). When he is sent back to relive his time as a pharaoh, he panics at the sight of his subjects and barely manages an awkward "hello".
Yugi himself is even worse. Put him in a duel against an Eldritch Abomination, even without Yami to take control, and he'll pull a winning combo every time. Put a flirtatious girl in front of him, or put him on a stage before his fans, and he loses the ability to speak in complete sentences.

Miles "Tails" Prower and Blaze the Cat from Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails is a shy kid with a love of machines and an alienatingly advanced vocabulary, while Blaze is more naturally reclusive and serious and has pyrokinetic powers that can frighten bystanders. Both were teased as children for these qualities, and both kick ass regardless.

Ayla from Earth's Children is a downplayed example. She's a total badass when it comes to hunting and healing, but when she's interacting with other people, she sometimes comes across as a bit odd or awkward, due to her mannerisms picked up from the Clan (who are very different from most people) and her lack of experience with social interaction, in particular her tendency to be completely honest, which can make her seem rather blunt. However, once people get to know her, they usually warm up to her due to her friendly and compassionate nature, and she feels more comfortable opening up and being herself.

Sister Hedwig, the protagonist of Misericorde, has spent most of her life in a tiny cell where her social interactions were limited to one-on-one conversations with the occasional unseen, anonymous visitor. As such, she doesn't take it well when the Mother Superior forces her to come out of her cell, reintegrate into the abbey’s congregation, and investigate a fellow nun's murder. She's timid, anxious, prone to stuttering and self-flagellation, and she suffers the occasional mood swing as the stress of her situation gets to her. Despite all this, Hedwig is doing her utmost to solve the mystery of that murder and prevent a potentially innocent man from facing the executioner’s axe.

Hector of The Zombie Knight suffers from crippling social anxiety. At one point, he literally flees a conversation with his crush at a dead run. His nervousness and difficulty asserting himself verbally are actually the source of his reputation as a terrifying and creepy badass; he had no problem going up against armed thugs, but when it came time to actually speak to them the best he could do was a very polite, very slow whisper.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Fluttershy is unafraid to walk right up to manticores or three-headed hell hounds, but she's overwhelmed at social gatherings or meeting new ponies. "Hurricane Fluttershy" in particular has Fluttershy afraid to take part in strengthening a tornado by flying along its edges, not because it's a tornado, but because she's worried other ponies will make fun of her if she doesn't fly fast enough.
Twilight Sparkle. Her social anxiety isn't as crippling as Fluttershy's, but it's somewhat telling that Princess Celestia had to order her to make some friends.

Doctor Who:
Every incarnation of the Doctor fits this trope, to a greater or lesser degree. Sometimes, it's because they're not human. Other times, it's because they're just like that. Usually, they get by on the few social skills they have.
In "Midnight", the trope backfires on the Tenth Doctor in an unsettling way that nearly gets him killed.
The Eleventh Doctor is outgoing but still awkward. He occasionally comes across as a Chaste Hero — he's a Master of the Mixed Message and basically goes stock-still and squeaky when kissed. When he spends a few days renting a room from an ordinary human, he ruins his landlord's attempt to have a romantic evening with a nice girl, and he starts delivering a huge lecture about pacifism when encouraged to "annihilate" the other team in a football(/soccer) game, before embarrassingly realizing he was just being encouraged to defeat them.
The Twelfth Doctor is, in general, an abrasive Grumpy Old Man who absolutely does not care about human social customs. He also has some kind of face-blindness that means he can't tell people's relative ages.
The Thirteenth Doctor, like the Eleventh Doctor, is friendly and sociable but is very awkward. When meeting the family of one of her companions, she finds that she is not good at small talk since she ends up going off on long, rambly tangents, which makes her come across as weird.
"Tooth and Claw": Captain Reynolds was a very successful soldier in the field, but when dining with Queen Victoria, he embarrasses himself by laughing at her comment about Rose and is quickly told off for it.
"Arachnids in the UK": Companion Ryan Sinclair is stunned when fellow companion Yaz Khan's younger sister Sonya insinuates she's interested in him.

Dragon Ball:
Goku is an example as well due to being Raised by Wolves and Oblivious to Love (Chi Chi pretty much had to pound it into him or else he might had remained single his entire life). Note however that Goku in no way knows that he is socially awkward, is never in the slightest anxious about social situations, and is in fact very extroverted and friendly.
Gohan is also socially awkward, but in a completely different way from Goku. He's friendly and humble, but also extremely shy. During his first few days in high school, he has trouble fitting in, as he has no idea how teenagers his age act, nor did anyone else share his immense strength.
Yamcha starts off with a Downplayed example: when we first meet him, he is a cocky and ruthless desert bandit. Put a girl in his line of sight, however, and he seizes up and becomes meek and quiet. His entire reason for hunting for the Dragon Balls in the beginning was to wish away his fear of women.

League of Legends has Rell, the Iron Maiden, a young knight who was raised in an Academy of Evil to make her into the personal weapon of an Ancient Conspiracy, and has since escaped and begun a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against her abusers. She takes her crusade very seriously, but her lack of social skills from her Friendless Background makes for some endearingly awkward moments, especially since she ends up being prone to crushing on several champions (teenage hormones, perhaps?):

Lampshaded in Agent Cody Banks as the director of the CIA demands to know how they spent ten million dollars turning a teenager into a super spy capable of extreme feats of athleticism and combat and somehow they neglected to train him in how to talk to girls. Which is kind of important considering his entire mission is to get close to a scientist's extremely beautiful daughter.

Eliott in Finding Snowflakes is this to the extent he barely holds a conversation properly. It's a deconstruction of the trope since not only others and his lack of social skills are to blame, but it's also due to him not even trying to fix them. This is Played for Drama and is one of the central conflicts of the story.

The Legend of Korra: Mako grew up on the streets of Republic City, doing everything he could to protect himself and his little brother, Bolin. As a result, he's very brash and dismissive of people he doesn't know, and isn't the best at conversation. He's not exactly in-touch with his feelings, either, not even noticing his growing crush on Korra until Asami, his girlfriend at the time, calls him out on it. Like Zuko, he does get better, but it takes a few seasons.

Apocalypse Alice: Shinnosuke Arisu is so used to danger that his classmate believes him to be unafraid entirely, and his lack of social skills isn't obvious due to him being The Gadfly who gains control of the situation by teasing others. However, when that fails, he's horribly awkward. Case in point: karaoke is nerve-wracking enough for him to the point where he feels as if he were on a life-threatening mission.

Transformers: Cyberverse: The episode "Party Down" shows Optimus Prime and Cheetor to be notably introverted and uncomfortable at the party in the title. Optimus, it turns out, is very good at inspiring pre-battle speeches and leading troops to victory, but in giving a pre-party speech all he can manage is "Together, we will triumph over, I mean, enjoy this party," and the ever-sociable Grimlock has to come to his rescue. Eventually Optimus and Cheetor end up retreating to the hull of the ship just for some peace and quiet.

Armani Dove of Broken Bow was raised almost solely by his uncle Apollo and a few tutors, meaning that, amongst other things, at first, he has no compunction about changing clothes in front of girls because he seldom if ever interacted with people his own age before.

Aveline Vallen in Dragon Age II turns into this during her Matchmaker Quest. She can handle bandits, blood mages and demons galore, but loses all verbal communication skills when it comes to Donnic. To be fair, she used to be married - the awkwardness comes in part from being violently widowed and burying herself into her new job for four years.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Angel was even more socially awkward, especially once he outgrew the Mysterious Protector role and became the star of his own show. His ability to switch from "brooding, tortured anti-hero" to "complete dork" on a dime was a Running Gag.

Lt. Colonel John Sheppard and Dr. Rodney McKay of Stargate Atlantis would rather pilot an exploding moon (no, really) or rewrite the city's base code from scratch than deal with interpersonal relationships. McKay is pretty upfront about this, but Sheppard's a bit of a surprise, given how charming he comes off to strangers. It makes it all the more impressive when either one makes the effort to let their team know how much their friendship means to them.

The Murderbot Diaries: Murderbot, even by the standards of SecUnits is clearly uncomfortable in social situations, Hates Being Touched (once it has a place with Preservation there is a specific contractual rider that it must not be hugged), and prefers to look at people through drones rather than making eye contact. Murderbot is also, even by the standards of SecUnits, an absolute wrecking ball that tends to put down other SecUnits fairly quickly.

Mass Effect: Andromeda has Alec Ryder, who despite being an N7 like Shepard and a certified genius capable of scratch-building his own AI was apparently totally incapable of talking to that cute scientist he liked. The way Elen Ryder told it, she approached him when it became clear to her he was never going to make the first move. Exactly whether this was true or not is unclear, but seeing his daughter Sara trying to flirt with Suvi lends a lot of credence to it.

Transformers (2007): Ladies and Gentlemen...Sam Witwicky. He has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth, and the girls seem to dig that about him. The writers did state their inspiration for Sam's character was basically Marty McFly—on crack. Also helps that Sam is played by Shia LaBeouf.

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Ultra Magnus has spent a decent chunk of his career beating the tar out of war criminals who are also giant robots and dragging them back to face trial. He is regarded as the "Ultimate Lawman". He is also the most pedantic, humourless, emotionally unavailable man in the universe, so uptight that you could power a starship off his clenching alone, and deeply uncomfortable in a stoic way whenever anyone expects him to engage in more than the most trivial social encounter. The gears in his face used for smiling have gotten so little use that they've almost rusted together. He once tried to write a self-help book with the idea that its conclusions would be imposed on pain of death.

Gravity Falls: Dipper Pines. Especially when it comes to trying to impress his crush, Wendy; in "Double Dipper" he came up with an extremely convoluted twenty point plan just to ask her to dance with him at a party, only to end up fighting and outwitting nearly a dozen clones of himself he created for the plan who tried to pull an Anti-Mutiny.

Reginald Barclay in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager saved the Enterprise at least twice and was significantly helpful to Voyager, yet had such social difficulty that his debut episode, "Hollow Pursuits", was dedicated to Geordi trying to arrest his withdrawal into a holographic fantasyland. (To be fair, it was his first appearance, before he was able to develop into the character that did all those other things).
