Does the concept of being awkward exist for three-year-olds?

Asked by fluthernutter (6328points) November 5th, 2013 from iPhone

My (then) three-year-old asked me what awkward meant. While I was having fun coming up with silly scenarios, it also made me think about this from a different angle.

Does the concept of awkward even exist at this age? Or does it form as they become older and more self-conscious? (I don’t mean physically awkward.)

Bonus question:
How would you explain awkward to a three-year-old?

Bonus BONUS question:
If you were on an island by yourself, would the concept of awkward still exist? Or does it only exist in relation to other people?
