Does anyone else do that, just wait until you are approached first before opening up.

U r looking a wise girl,but friendship is good thing,no problem if u talk first wth someone

Kitty, you need to start a conversation. You do here. You shouldn't sit in a corner alone.

I find it hard to know what to say unless it is about the weather, and since it is nice and hot, what is there to say.

Say something like "Have we met before"? And then say no, I am just remembering your face from the photo at the post office. Have some fun Kitty

even i used to be like dis wen I was in my teenage...but now...im a very very friendly n easy goin guy....

Once when I was in a grocery store with my mother, I was speaking to people I didn't know. After we left, she mentioned it and I told her to try it. Now she's told me about several people who have responded, including a little old man that she had quite a lengthy conversation with. He followed her around the veggie dept.

No kitty, don't say that...Stop Sparky, you'll get her in trouble.

Tattletale

Well, they may really be wanted, pull out a gun and shoot her or take her hostage while making a get away.

You dear, dear lady. After my own heart. I very often feel like I have to be the 'big'person in friendships, etc... and the one always extending a heart, hand, and help. Don't know why it's this way, just is. Had to get over the feeling of wanting to be the one to BE called, if you understand. Some of us are meant to be the givers, I guess. (I mean no feather in my own cap or rattlin' my own cage by saying this, it's just how I feel. Guess we just have to cowboy up and accept it, sweetie. My heart is with you because I SO understand. We have to be the strong ones in relationships, that's the way it is. Keep being the warm person I can tell that you are. It will pay off in future. Promise.

Pretty hard to strike up a Conversation,when everybody is talking to someone,and you're standing there like a flat Sparetire!

This was the first time I had attended one of their get togethers, where my daughter usually goes, so she likely would recognize the other mothers, but she had a important meeting for her other daughter that is why I want with her.

I am fine at starting a conversation when there is only two of us but when there is a crowd I freeze up.

I find it hard to believe that you could not strike up a conversation with just about anyone.

Kitty type in "What to say after Hello" on Google and read the articles there. These might help you.

I think this came when I was a teenager and would be sitting in a group and I would say something and everyone would just stop talking and stare at me then continue with them selves. I would say something again and the same reaction

It was not until years later someone finally told me they could not understand anything I was saying as I talked too fast.

Now why did it take so many years for someone to finally tell me that. Even in school they would ask me to read a paragraph and I would just finish a sentence and the teacher would tell me that was enough and to sit down.

When I was very young the kids used to ask me if I was speaking a different language, I would look at them and say no, and I would get this strange look.
