ive come to the conclusion today that i suck at conversation. this isnt the case with all people but most times i really just cant carry a conversation unless the other person does most of the talking cause i really dont have anything to say most of the time. bothers me about myself but i guess there really isnt anything i can do about that. how are you guys at talking with people?
My conversational skills are fairly poor when it comes to people who I don't know very well, which is a tad ironic considering my speaking skills are quite good.
i'm pretty much the same as you most of the time, most people talk about themselves and those close to them... but i'm not too bad talking about current events and such with people
If you force yourself into a conversation you have no idea what it is about or not up to speed about the whole thing, you will probably embarrass yourself.
Well to add to what I alright wrote, many kids don't wanna talk about the things I do. They just wanna talk about the artificial crap that I don't care about... at all. So that's my problem I don't like saying "Hey how was your day?" I want to say "Hey who do you think should win for election?". And I'm 16. So that's probably why people my age's conversations bore me tremendously. :P
Not so good. I still cant get over the "stand in front of the class" thing. But im fine w/ friendstri-edge99
really the stand in front of the class is easy for me. i simply think to myself "when the other students go up and present myself and everyone else in the class dont seem to care or even be paying attention so why would this change when i go up?"
Good with guys. Mediocre with girls. :Pbattlefront23

I have a feeling though that my breath smells, but I can'tb e sure. No one's ever told me my breath smells( I'm sure that'd be awkward), but I just feel insecure about it, so I don't directly face too many people up close.

I'm one of the biggest mouth you can imagine. I always talk... even when I drink... even more when I drink... but it's pissing others because even drunk I make more sense than them sober.
I talk so much that I can't keep my peoples around me :? At first, they are all around me, at the end... they just flee from me :P

mouthwash maybe? or try gumNo, it's not that my breath smells. It's just that I feel insecure about it- particularly around girls. I asked a few of my friends and they said they never noticed anything :P
eh. it depends on the person. sometimes i can talk forever and most of the time i cant think of anything to say unless the other person says something... even then the person doesnt say much so i really cant get a conversation...

Well how old are you? Because if you're 16 like me, a big problem is that I don't what to say and when I see other guys around me be all smooth and crap... I know that I don't want to be like that. Although girls dig it for some reason that seems to not make sense to me.

Haha, 16 as well.

I've had the same problem. I try to find something in common or find something they are excited about in order to start conversating. Often when I speak it's to brighten up others and whatnot so I'm really trying to understand people and their passions. I often do not speak unless I have something genuine to say as I do not like wasting people's time. That doesn't mean I hardly ever speak however. (friends I speak a little differently however)
im can have a conversation with practically anyone, all you do is listen,nod, and at random parts when there is a change in the speakers tone say something like OMG REALLY?

Same here. Except I recently turned 17.
A lot of people say its about confidence but I don't really buy that...

I absolutely do. I have low confidence in myself, until a girl seems to make an effort to talk to me. I can't be the "initiator", if you get what I mean
Not too bad. I don't really have problems choosing words, except when I want to use a specific word but can't find it. Otherwise, when speaking the only real problem I have is actually getting the words out. I often find myself tripping over my own words or my voice is funny and it sounds weird. And on occasion I say something stupid or so random it makes no sense. Then I get angry at myself. I have no problems talking to guys or girls. But when I don't like the person or have nothing in common I just try my best to be silent to avoid awkwardness.

I have confidence to start conversations... I've started like three today with three different girls. But I just don't know what to say to keep them interested. They like to talk about boring, insignificant things that put me to sleep... :P

You're in the same boat I am, buddy. I would suppose that I can hold a conversation, but I'm not a particularly interesting person to talk to. My whole life people ask me why I'm so quiet, and they just assume that I am shy. I say "No, I just really don't have much to say". Which is true, but it seems that a lot of people don't understand it. I just don't always feel like injecting my opinion into a conversation.
