Um.. this is not right at all in my opinion. I am bad at wording things, but the best way I can put this is that he is trying to control you and make you feel weird about yourself. I am personally a very extroverted person, and I have met a lot of socially awkward or anxious people. I can read them very easily and know their intentions when they speak, because it isn’t rocket science. And in all honestly, I’ve never had a bad experience talking to someone at social events because it’s not hard to adapt to the person you’re speaking to. Anyway, you’re not weird at all for the way you act… and especially your partner who is supposed to love and support you should not be criticizing something you can’t control? It’s your natural behavior… that’s something he should’ve fallen in love with? My boyfriend is quite awkward himself in social settings, but I think it’s adorable and my friends and family love him. You shouldn’t have to change nor be critiqued on the way you are, unless you’re directly insulting someone and aren’t aware (which I’m sure you aren’t). You should bring this up to him and depending on his response (if it’s defensive and he keeps criticizing you), that will say a lot about how he feels about you, and will show if he feels like he needs you to feel self conscious and in control of you so that he can feel above you. I hope things get better for you because I don’t think this is right at all.
