Are you good at conversations?

Not really. If someone actually tries to talk to me(:shock: ), I try to respond as well as I can, but uncomfortable silence usually takes over. And then I feel bad because I don't want to be rude.blackrytonite

Can you have a conversation with someone? I find it hard lol.gamedude2020

even friends?

depends how I'm feeling that day.allnamestaken

Yeah, i'm the same way. If i'm in a bad mood i usually don't feel like talking.

I'm usually good in conversations with friends and family, but not with strangers or people I don't normally talk to. One thing that I really don't like is that sometimes when I hang out with a single person, and that person doesn't say anything, which leads to complete silence. I just start thinking I'm boring to the person or not entertaining, and I just say something to fill in that silence. It just feels really uncomfortable when those things happen.DJ-Lafleur

It's nice to have some insight as to what people are thinking when uncomfortable silences occur. That person is probably trying, they could just be really shy. It isn't you. :) Trust me, I can understand this better than anybody.

dude you just described all my conversation problems.

I'm pretty good at having a conversation, unless it's with a really hot girl I've never met. :cry:

When I am around certain people I get real quiet
But around others I'm loud xD

I hate forced conversations, or talking with someone I just don't WANT to talk to. Otherwise I'm ok.

The only conversations I hate are the..like elevator ones? xD when that guy from 4B wants to chit-chat about the weather, that's pathetic. I always just nod, not even say a word. Makes everyone feel awkward and shut up. x3

the worst is just the stranger and/or person you never see approaching

i moved recently, you have all neighbors comming from down the street whom you've never spoken to.

"Sooooo you're moving eh, i cant beleive it"

"yep, yep movin"

"well....see you later"

Couldn't have put it better myself.

I can have conversations easily, as long as there is converstation to be had.FragStains

I'm always one for a good conversation, whether it be doing the talking or the listening.

The impression that I get is that the people I meet think I'm good at talking. They only dislike it when I use long words knowing that they'll have to ask what they mean. :lol:

I just find it difficult to start conversations. I don't really know what to talk about. And I don't want to seem weird.blooddemon666

I get that sometimes too. Especially with new people. It's like I don't know what to say for the best. But at the same time, saying nothing can speak just as ill of you. :(

sad, i didn't get her name or number :?

I consider myself "good" but when silence comes I always find something to break the silence.

Better luck next time, eh? ;)

Come to think of it, I was stood at the bus stop the other day and this really attractive girl turned up too. And the thing with me is, when there is a really cute girl nearby, my usually happy, bouncy, random, chatty self is reduced to a fumbling, lost-for-words, shy little boy. :lol:

When the bus finally turned up (supposed to be every 10 minutes, but I was waiting at least 20 :roll: ), she make a remark like "Oh good, it's finally here" and I was thinking "yes! I didn't have to break the ice"...so to speak. :P

But the thing is, it's not like I was going to talk to her anyway, because who fires up conversation at a bus stop? Not me for one. :lol:

Plus, I'm not really comfortable with talking to strangers out of the blue. I just imagine that if I were her, I'd be thinking "why on Earth is this random person talking to me? Hurry up bus!"

But yeah, maybe I need to loosen up and let my hair (even further :P) down...I dunno.

Sorry, I went into story mode. :oops:

Whenever I'm with my friends and it goes silent, I usually humour the situation by whispering loudly, something like "Silence" or "It's gone quiet."

Seems to get things moving again. :P

Or, here's a good one. Initaite normal conversation with "Don't you really hate those awkward silences where no-one knows what to say?" :lol:

no i suck at talking to people. i prefer to shoot them. Evil_Incarnate-

Photographer, perchance?

Not especially, I have a speech impediment and an odd little voice. I have trouble getting taken seriously with it actually. (Easy to see why I like debating on interwebs, I finally get the chance to.)

With my close friends I can usually manage talking pretty well but mostly I tend to be quiet.
