I googled “how to be less shy” and all I got was that shyness is because of insecurities and being afraid of what other people will think of you. This isn’t my complete problem. I have trouble talking to people because I can’t carry on a conversation. My insecurity is that I will bring the conversation to an awkward silence. I live in my own world and don’t pay attention to what is going on around me so I don’t have much to talk about. I’m also afraid that I will be uninteresting or be completely wrong in what I say.
It’s like when someone is speaking to me I am trying to think of something to respond with and usually I come up with nothing. Everything I googled said just start talking to people but how can I do that if I have nothing to talk about?
Maybe I need to learn more. I like learning but I don’t recall things later on. My mind just freezes when people are talking to me. I guess I need to watch and read the news so I know what is going on in the world. Or I just need to find people that are interested in what I like, but then again I don’t want to limit myself to certain people.
I don’t know how to fix this.
