I’m honestly not sure why but.. i don’t want to be but feel anti social? Certain people I can somewhat talk to then go quiet after and some people I already see on a regular basis I have a hard time talking to them? Like nothing comes to mind.

I want to start more conversations. But how..

Hi! Thank you for sharing. Interesting post. I get the impression that you already have it in you. Because this post, in a way, is you starting up a conversation. Just based on this post you asking questions is a good conversation stater.

Small talk about non personal things is also good. Take the the weather for example, everyone has a different opinion about it and personal preference is harmless. What's your favorite season? Why?

What's your favorite this or that? And many times one realizes has many things in common. And based on those responses, more questions and or comments come about.

At times I like to practice my speaking with customer service representatives whether it's over the phone or in person at the store. Even if it's a 10 second conversation it is still good practice.

One step at a time. Keep up the good work!

I understand completely. I want to visit with people but yet I really don’t.

I agree with Lov2hydrate. Asking questions is a great way to make conversation and it helps to take the pressure off you. If you really focus on the person's answers and are genuine in your interest to know them better, and what they have to say, that is a great way to make conversation natural.
