I have never felt this way before, i think i suck at social skills, you what to say, getting envoloved in converstations, i think i stay away, i dont jump in it. Thats not healthy and makes me feel like, ugh just drive my car into a lake.
Why dont i just openly associate?
am i too stange, not mentally grown? this frustrates me, everyone in the past has told me that its just in my mind, its not! it is very real and i need to do someting about it.
Misery

I go through the same thing. Sometimes even in chat I can't think of things to say. It's like I'm too self absorbed or something, I can't focus on what other people are saying.
Try not to feel too bad about it. It's okay to be quiet. It takes practice to be a good conversationalist.

I'm the same way. It makes socializing awkward. A therapist or a group geared toward this problem might help. You live in a big city. You might check the self help section of your newspaper.
I tend to just live with it. I was lucky enough to meet my husband in high school, or I'd have likely never married.
Do you feel more comfortable with people you've known for a while? Like maybe people at work?
