I would argue that awkwardness is absolutely a realtity, based on extensive personal experience... However, perception blows the reality, which may be quite small initially, way out of proportion, worsening the situation dramatically.
In other words: Is awkwardness a subjective or objective fact?
If it were to be the latter, what would some sort of objective standard for official awkwardness even be? Maybe: If it makes Steph blush? Or: If it makes Andrea do a neck-flex? Perhaps: "Oh, sad" is heard.
These are just some potential criteria for objective awkwardness. You be the judge.

both?
Agreed, I think its both too. And I think Andrea wrote this.
Both, I think. However, it's a reality I face each and every day. Tear.

I think it's a perception....But the fact that someone else might be perceiving it as such makes it awkward for me as well.

sorry, *reality
i think its reality.... but the magnitude of the awkwardness is a perception.
I agree...I think that there is a component that is reality, but the majority is a perception.
