Okay I pretty much have the same problem, well I used to. What I started doing was saying random things. Even if they sounded stupid, because we usually ended up having a conversation about whatever just popped into my head. It really worked because now i have a bunch of new friends!! hope i helped!!

I understand exactly!!! I use to have a hard time bringing up discussions. We might sit in silence forever and then leave!!! very uncomfortable. Sometimes you have to find out what these friends are really interested into. Ask about what kind of music are you into,what do you like to read,just stuff like that. If you get somebody talking about what they're interested in, you end up listening for a long time. But it's worth it because then you have something in common. Find out their likes and dislikes and you'll have no problem with talking anymore!!!

well take it from someone thats extremely outgoing ... you need to feel confident in yourself. i kno your a great person ... and i kno all your friends kno you r 2 . and everyone you talk to is dying to be your friend. so all you hafta do is bring up something general. like movies, books, music, what they did over the weekend. eventually it will stir up something. and then youll have a good friendship with a lot of different ppl. never be shy to show yourself. be happy with yourself and make sure ppl can get a taste of all the magic you possess .

I had the same problem. I would be able to goof off with my close friends, but with the friends that I just talk to, I'd just be like, "So... What's up?" Try to start off with some small talk and casual conversations. Look for something that they're interested in and you can bring something up about it. If you see that they're bored in class, you can say, "I'd rather be anywhere but stuck in this lecture, where would you want to be?" Just something simple like that. It doesn't have to be too personal, but something they can have an input on. You can also try complimenting them, that usually starts a good conversation that's not too awkward. But try to compliment on something about THEM, instead of what they're wearing, etc. Keep it casual and friendly, like, "I loved the speech you gave in history class. You seem very well organized." If you don't want those awkward silences in the middle of a conversation, just keep talking. Don't be afriad to embarass yourself. Isn't it possible that they're trying to think of something to say also? Speak up and share your opinions, and I'm sure you'll be fine. I hope I helped. Good luck!

You could always talk about a band or music video or even a tv program...you could even talk to them about what they are wearing and stuff or where did they get their shoes....and stuff like that just ask some questions to get to the good conversation started...thats what i would do at least..and it works good for me...hope i helped!!
