I freeze up and have nothing to say during good conversations between other people. I really liek to talk a lot at home and with my friends. At school it seems liek i dnt say anything. And if i say something wrong ill get labeled fo rit. I want to Be Cool and likeable but also mysef at the same time. How can I become myself, say the right things,and be a good conversationalist?

You no what truly helped a good friend of mine overcome? By taking "Speech/Debate" class. It's so oral and it's amazingly effective. If you have that at your school, I highly suggest taking it next year. It makes you feel more comfortable talking to other people and not only do you gain increadible confidence, but you also learn public speaking which is America's number one fear. If you don't have this at your school do the following below.

I think you should join an afterschool club or something like that. You can gain confidence through sports and other things like that and it will totally help you gain confidence in the real world! Say it loud and proud!

Honestly? Just say what's on your mind, plain and simple. Say it in a casual manner. And if you're trying to strike up a conversation, work with the things around you. Ask people things like what the homework is, or if they are going to the basketball game later that night. Once you've broken the ice, it should be smooth sailing from there.

G'luck.

I used to care about all of that stuff too but i realized that people like you better for who you really are rather than who you pretend to be. I'm sure you're a great person. Don't worry about saying or doing the right things. If you try not to care as much about what other people think of you, then i think you would be better at conversing with other people. you know?? You can be yourself by just saying whatever comes naturally. Hopefully that was a little helpful. =0)

Peace & Love
