feel awkward and behave accordingly

Chinese translation: 感觉很别扭，行为举止也不自然

English to Chinese translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Human Resources / create a positive impression
English term or phrase: feel awkward and behave accordingly
The context is about individuals who are not good at creating a positive impression in others.--

"They create a poor impression on others; they may not dress appropriately; may feel awkward and behave accordingly."

Does "may feel awkward and behave accordingly"="may feel awkward and behave awkwardly" ?

If so, how to translate ?

他们可能(自己)感到尴尬，举止也(令人)尴尬?

Any inputs are appreciated !

他们穿着不当，表情尴尬，举止笨拙


Explanation:
They create a poor impression on others; they may not dress appropriately; may feel awkward and behave accordingly."
他们给人产生不好的印象；他们可能穿着不当，表情尴尬，举止笨拙。
或者整段翻成：
他们可能穿着不当，表情尴尬，举止笨拙（或者举止不雅），给人产生不好的印象。
感觉下面的译法更顺畅一些。
