Tell your professor that "proximity is relative."

For example, I go to church with a lot of people but I can’t say that I personally know many of them. Face to face interaction does not always breed better communication, fact is sometimes it can get in the way of conversation all together.

It is awkward relating to people I don't know. Nothing, I think your professor is right. It is awkward relating to people I don’t know.
