When my friends and I are in a group and talking, it's easier for me to make a conversation and i'm comfortable talking to everyone. When I'm one on one with a person, it's very uncomfortable and I don't know what to talk about so there will be this awkward silence. Why is this happening? What can I do? (All girls by the way..) I have no boy-friends..How do I make them? I'm incredibly shy and soo insecure! (link)
I have just the opposite problem, that I do better one-on-one. I think the thing is that when you're alone, all the attention is on you, but in a group, there are other people to split and break the attention.

I think the trick would be to remember that it's not about you, and try to focus all the attention on the other person. Ask them about their day, and basically make petty small talk that I and other future engineers seem meaningless, but my shrink tells me I have to make. I dunno, listen to the shrink, he's got a degree in this stuff.

As for boyfriends, I must say you're lucky to be a girl. I think it's easier for girls to get boyfriends. I still wouldn't know how, but what the heck, I can't get a girlfriend either.
