Non-talkative around certain people/groups

Not sure if this thread belongs here but..

I noticed that around certain people (just a few) I am very care-free and talkative, etc. I just met them about a year ago.

Certain others who I have known for a few years, I feel disconected towards. And yeah, I'm talking about close friends. Whenever I am with them a lot of the conversation feels forced on my part.

Another thing I noticed about myself is that I am better (ok, a LOT better in comparison) talking with a person directly rather than if I am part of a group. In the latter situation, I pretty much just sit back and listen to what everyone is saying. It's like I can't naturally blend into the conversation.

I feel like a robot when talking...normal people hold conversation with stuff like jokes thrown in the mix, etc. and most of my responses are something like, "really", "yeah". Yeah ok you get the point.

Any advice? Im 18 years old and this has been going on for years now. I used to be the complete opposite in like, 2nd grade.
