I think a lot of people are capable of recognizing that Giorno has a facade the reader is meant to dismantle but the issue is that they take it too far and instead see him as some kind of total woobie dweeb which is also not the case. Not only is he a very confident person, he also sees himself as worthy of passing judgement onto others; killing people he considers unjust is no big deal to him. He lowkey has a god complex. What he lacks is a sense of self-preservation and a sense of personhood outside his ambitions. Giorno sees himself as a servant to his county, city, community, he sees himself as an embodiment of certain values and ideals. And if he couldn't fullfill his dream then I think he would see himself as totally worthless because that is all he is, that's all he has. This is why he would struggle with personal relationships and with his sense of self-worth. He wouldn't know how to ask for his needs to be met or even recognize that he has them without feeling conflicted. His awkwardness lies there, in the long-term perspective. Giorno is excellent at reading people and getting what he wants from social interactions, wether if it's by being palatable or by causing friction, the issue is that he would still struggle to do the right thing by the people he loves, even if he suffers from it, because he cannot fully conceptualize himself in the role of the friend or the lover. He is merely a leader of others and a servant of his county.
