Question Posted Saturday May 7 2005, 11:55 pm

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!

Probably because you don't know any one person in the group well enough to hold a one on one conversation. Maybe you don't have enough in common with ony one person in the group.

If you want to make boyfriends you need to go talk to some guys. Hang around them a little and get them noticing you. :)

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.

Just say whatever your thinking at the time. Be more outgoing and just say some crazy things. It might seem stupid but you'll probably end up laughing about it with that person. =)

ok well i think you need to get over your insecurity.. there's nothing to be afraid of.. people can suck but they're not as bad as it seems and you're never gonna have a boyfriend or a friend until you do something about it and you make the stand.. sorry if i sound harsh but that's just what you gotta do
