Why do we find silences during conversation awkward/uncomfortable

I say the word awkward a lot in a conversation, I think it makes people who don’t know me feel uneasy, but it’s more of a joke with my friends.

Also anyone I’ve just met who does the awkward turtle during silence wins points, because I’ll probably be laughing.
