Missing Spren?

[Aon Ese: Abundance,Harvest she/her]

So I was just thinking recently...

if there are rainspren, anticipationspren, hungerspren--basically, spren for any strong feeling/sensation/natural occurrence, why aren't there awkwardspren?

I can think of so many scenarios where awkwardspren could have made an appearance 

[Karger he/him]

Their portfolio might be covered by the shock and irritation spren.

[Aon Ese: Abundance,Harvest she/her]

Hmm maybe...but awkwardness is so distinctive, you know? It's almost a 'passive' thing, unlike shock or irritation...

the akward spren were part of the KR, but most of them died in the recriance...don't worry, we're coming back!

Haha I'll be on the lookout

Shamespren appear on Roshar. Awkwardness could be close enough to attract a few of those.

[RShara she/her]

Awkwardness seems like it's more a combination of emotions rather than an emotion on it's own. It seems like embarrassment is a large chunk of awkwardness, so I think @WhiteEmporer's idea hits the nail.

[Calderis he/him]

Yeah. Embarrassment, confusion, hesitance. 

I agree 

[Karger he/him]

True.  Remember Kaladin's lessons?  Spren appear when things change.  Can you remember things becoming awkward?  Initially that probably manifested as either shame fear or embarrassment which are all things that happen whereas awkwardness just exists and is something to avoid.

yeah, awkwardness could be used to describe a lot of scenarios: walking in on something you shouldn't, an uncomfortable silence, even just describing something that is a little out of the ordinary. Spren are shown to only be attracted to specific emotions or events, which awkwardness does not cover
