Is it normal to feel awkward the first few times wearing hanfu outside?

Extremely normal. Almost everyone feels self-conscious the first 2–3 outings. After that you either get used to it or you stop caring — both are wins.

I used to hunch my shoulders and walk super fast. Now I just walk normally and smile. People stare way less when you act confident.

Pro tip: start with very short sets or just the top + jeans. Baby steps make the transition much easier psychologically.

Bonus: the more times you wear it, the less people stare. After about 5–6 times out, it becomes background noise to most people.
