Yeah, that could be a bit of a problem... Well, my advice only applies when you have a subject. Finding a subject, however, tends to be quite difficult for me >.<;

I'm the queen of a lack of things to say pretty much. How do people do it
Same here moog, I think I've now gotten enough courage to talk to people, yet I still find it very difficult thinking up comments or topics to talk about. Bizarre.

I always find it hard to think of things to say, I don't know how other people do it. Even on subjects I'm interested in I struggle, yet other people seem to be able to rattle on about the most mundane subjects.
I think this lack of conversational skill is the key to my SA. If I was just able to talk to people more then I wouldn't be so bored at social events and my life might actually be normal!
heyy
i no exactly what u mean
th thing that gets me down is listenin to other peoples converstaions and realsing how easy it is ! but when i come to havin a convo i just cant do it =[
i jus pick up basic tips like read the news, papers and listen out for interetsing storys

Here is a diffrent angle on this topic everyone. End the conversation
Studies on this topic shows too many conversations go way past their usefulness and its true. I notice that my personal obsevation and expeirnments has proven that some times the the conversation should just be terminated.
Let it die a swift death. Go start a new topic else where. Just my oponion.

Yep, I agree.
Awkward silences don't exist, it's all in your head. Suck it up and move on, stop yourself when you start trying to overcompensate with nervous chatter when that silence comes up. The convo is over, move on the other person has also run out of things to say, but he/she has no doubt already moved on themselves. So don't worry about them, either. It's all good.
i dont even know how to start , i could just say something and the person would say something back ,and i feel embarassing to keep goin ,,sometimes ,i just repeat what someone next to me said ,is really weird,but it helps.
