Gingerly - If you do something gingerly, you do it in a careful manner, usually because you expect it to be dangerous, unpleasant, or painful.
Gawky - If you describe someone, especially a young person, as gawky, you mean they are awkward and clumsy.
Kneading - When you knead dough or other food, you press and squeeze it with your hands so that it becomes smooth and ready to cook.

I felt gawky ... and more naked than naked.
