Yes, but not one to make a fuss about.
Your "and" in your sentence above is unnecessary and redundant, but hey, and, big deal, you are only a human.

Technically, the word should be "awkwardly," the adverbial form, but it would be closer to the meaning you intend, I think, to phrase the sentence as "Being nervous sometimes, I can come off as being a bit awkward."

I really, really hate those emoticon thingies.

or,
Being nervous, I sometime can come off as bit awkward.

recasting the sentence (and making it, what is the word? OH, i know a little less anastropic, helps.

Ohh, I would be very surprised if Faldage wants less AnnaStrophic!

Why should it be an adverb? It's not like the "coming off" was done awkwardly, it's the "I" that seemed awkward. It's an adjective modifying the speaker. Not much different from "feeling bad" vs. "feeling badly."

it's just a bit chunky rhythmically, but it's clearly understandable.

It's not like the "coming off" was done awkwardly, it's the "I" that seemed awkward. I don't think so, Faldage. Come off in this sense, although it equates to "be" or "appear", is actually an action verb and thus would take the adverbial 'awkwardly'. I can appear awkward, but I can come off awkwardly.

EDIT: I should have said "it's meaning equates to "be" or "appear".

I have issue with the "come off".
What a peculiar (and awkward in itself) idiom!
How about a rework:
"There are times (they occur more frequently than not) that I find myself extremely nervous and unsure. At those times my post can give the appearance that I am of an awkward nature. Although, that is not truly the case."
