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".
