I don’t know what a normal conversation is...

[wyetmoodie]

But I want one.

I don’t feel comfortable talking to anyone... so I know it’s me. But i feel alive when I’m around people. And I’ve had very minimal people in my life for 2 years.

I need to find myself and some friends.

I have kind of isolated myself so now I feel socially awkward around people. At the same time i want to have conversations and be around people. It is hard. I'm trying to break out of my shyness (or whatever it is)...

[wyetmoodie in reply to Marshall64]

Yes. I get it. I’m so in tuned to my conversations. I’m always so in my head. Even texting is weird for me.

I just want to chill. Lol.

[Marshall64 in reply to wyetmoodie]

I'm more comfortable with texting vs talking. I can think of what to say and can express myself better in text. The only downside is that I tend to be sarcastic and that doesn't always come across in text.

If you ever want to chat, you can do so here or message me.

We will talk with you. You are always welcome here.

[wyetmoodie in reply to Hidden]

Appreciated. What name do you call yourself?

How are you doing? Wherever you are?

[Marshall64 in reply to wyetmoodie]

Lol. I had to laugh at "wherever you are"..

[Hidden in reply to wyetmoodie]

Hmm I wanted to call myself asstastic but I doubt it would have lasted long. So I chose here I am. I am over here 🙃. I am about to go to sleep. It’s 1:26 in the morning. How are you doing?

Write down some socially acceptable responses and comments to use when things get awkward.

I have a hard time talking to people as well. I suck at small talk! It's best to practice. Maybe you can do that at work? Maybe you can join some clubs in your area? Meetup.com is a great way to meet new people.

Sometimes it can be challenging to carry on a conversation. Have you considered volunteering or pursuing a hobby? Sometimes you can find an activity that presents an opportunity for conversation but is not solely a session of sitting down and talking (therefore less intimidating). Practice certainly helps.

same here, talking to ppl has always been hard for me, especially ppl i dont know well, but im trying to work on it. when someone comes up to you, just try to keep doing ur best and if they say something to you, just think ab what they said and just be yourself. ik its hard, but it also takes time
