Am I alone in my inability to have a normal conversation with someone? It seems like it's simple for everyone, and it should be! But the prospect of speaking one-on-one with someone is terrifying to me. An impossible task.
I want to give people the change to know me. And I want to know them in return...
But I freeze. I make small-talk instead.
And I'm having trouble pin-pointing exactly what makes conversation so terrible.
I just blank. I approach someone, ready to get into some deep conversation, and suddenly the words just leave. All I can come up with is "How was your day?" "Good"
Then I think "Can't I just do this through e-mail?" And I'm ashamed to think it.
Really? You can't even have a normal conversation?

Hmm I've learned that it's not always what you say but what you don't. You feel like you're not good with conversations, but that makes it all the more enjoyable when there is. I know that finding a common ground, a conversation starter is difficult. Hell when you have one you even blank on where to go from there, how to keep it going.
Personally I think it shows that you speak eloquently, but carefully. To want to write rather than speak verbally is a sign of good character. :-)
