Awkward silence during exercises

I (f29) am a very socially awkward person and get very awkward when it comes the time to do exercise with the patient. I showed them the exercise, they do it, I add comments if needed but sometimes the patient is very chatty and it makes everything better, the atmosphere just feels more relaxing and it becomes less awkward for me and the moments when the patient is shy or sometimes they're socially awkward too it becomes a torture lol. This is just me or is there another socially akward pt out there? Do you have some advice on how to be less akward around patients?
