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!

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. [ mikeejimbo's advice column | Ask mikeejimbo A Question ]

Crazy_Girl15 answered Sunday May 8 2005, 12:00 am: 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
