I can talk for hours...

[Techie2000]

Yet in high school I spent most of my lunch periods eating and just not speaking. Why? Beacuse most of the people I sat with at lunch were socially inept morons who only talked about Halo 2 or tried to create disgusting mixtures of random food, or making fun of the popular kids. What the hell was I thinking when I started sitting with them? Hell if I know. I already graduated high school, but it feels good to get this off my chest.

I can talk for hours with interesting people.

And not at all with shallow people.

Sounds like you are similar.

I can talk for hours in my journal or on paper but when I have somebody looking at me I freeze up.
Unless I have a microphone and then somehow its okay

Did they then dare each other to eat the mixtures and place bets on whether or not it would be done?

I love to talk, and I enjoy a fabulous conversation...but I also enjoy mindless fun with my friends. In fact, lunchroom antics in high school rank among some of our best memories...and a few of us were honor students.

Same here.
I can talk (type, write whatever) On here fine.....but I'm not as good with what I want to say (maybe thats here too) when I'm actually talking to somone.
I need a delete button myself.

I know what you mean

Highschool was such a weird time for me, and I never found anyone I was comfortable with talking on deep levels.

I've gotten a lot more social skills now, which helps to. Sometimes you don't realize it, though, like the author mentioned, and you are not "inept", but others around you kind of bring you down

Around my male friends I'm the most talkative bastard around. Around female friends you'd forget I'm there. I honestly don't know why that is either, because once I talk to a girl I'm alright, I just can't get the courage to talk to start with.

I know what you mean

In some situations, like in school, it just was totally out of my comfort zone, and I couldn't say anything. Part of it is personal growth, but also, setting yourself up in a good environment.

There is a certain difficulty in breaking the barrier, and I guess the best thing to do is say something as soon as you get the urge, because if you wait it gets harder. But that is easier said than done sometimes.

I can't believe how much garbage I write sometimes, though. I don't get it. Maybe, for the rest of my day, I will try to write very concise, and less in depth posts....... hmmm........ just for a challenge, or change...

I like talking to myself.

I like talking to myself.

As My Grandmother used to say...."An Interesting Conversation With An Interesting Person"

 

[For Honor]

I find I am either silent

or

overflowing with a relentless string of comments, observations, statements, innuendoes, and/or criticizms....


hmmm......

BAW hates it when I see someone on the street and just

Is it the sound of your own voice of the quality of conversation?
