I just came back from going to my grand daughters party for her last day at school. There were alot of people there but I sat by myself, watched the activities, had cake but talked to no one, not even the person who sat next to me.
I am the kind of person if I am not talked to first will not say anything either. I watched as others were talking like they were all old time friends.

Kitty, you need to start a conversation. You do here. You shouldn't sit in a corner alone.
kitty01: 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.
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.
Sparky55: 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
No kitty, don't say that...Stop Sparky, you'll get her in trouble.

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.
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 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.
