Hard time making conversation?

Question

I have a really hard time making conversation now. I mean, I can never hold a conversation for a long time? I do sometimes think too much before speaking in front of strangers. But, I want to become more social. Any advice on this?

Thanks in advance =)

Answer 1

Oh my god i cant make conversation either.

It's like I'll try so hard to find something to say, and then there is a huge awkward silence, and then i start to get nervous.

And its hard because they kids I hang out with at school are like crazy and loud and outgoing.

But I give out compliments a lot.. Even if you dont really like it, tell someone you like there shirt and ask them where they got it.

Its a small step but it helps :)

Help me out??

Be yourself, don't worry about what people think of you.  Be friendly to everyone.  Stick with things you know about like movies, music, sports, fashion.
