Do you feel that only if you were a good conversationalist you SA would go away?

Do you feel that only if you were a good conversationalist you SA would go away? I feel like that's the only main thing holding me back (like knowing what to say in social situations).

Sevenroses,

A good couple of years back I knew nothing about public speaking and in fact the idea was very daunting to me as I was not sure how I would be recieved or what I would say.

Now I am a very well known public speaker and love doing it. The secret lies within your intent, if your intent is strong enough you will achieve anything you want in life.

Perhaps you should give it a try by attempting small steps at a time and then every time you succeed with an attempt you look to improve on it. This is basically applying the Kaizen Principle to your life which implies taking constant and never ending small steps towards becoming the best that you can be. You will be amazed at how well it works and how easy it is once you make it a part of your daily life.

The moment you begin to take positive actions, you will begin to recieve positive results. Hope this helps.
 
More or less. For me it's really the incompatibility that contributes to keeping the anxieties. When I talk I tend to come across odd, whilst my vocal skills aren't even too bad. I suspect a brain defect somewhere. Looking at how their behavior and tone of voice changes, I can see that often it really creeps people out.

So that why I prefer to keep communication efficient and often non-verbal to prevent saying something that makes people uncomfortable. Others might want to keep in constant verbal communication, which is fine too. But it does cause a communication problem, which makes them think I'm weird most of the time.

To me it's the better one of two evils, I'd rather have them think I'm weird then them being utterly creeped out. x3
