How can I be more comfortable talking to people...? It's almost like there's two sides of me; the quiet side, and the never-shuts-up side. I guess I sort of run out of things to say, even around my friends, and then I end up not saying anything at all...
I know that most of you would just say "Be yourself", and I try to, but that still doesn't help at all with my problem.
Please help me, any advice will do. Thanks in advance.

They like to have fun, and they probably understand. Alot of people have 2 sides. you just have to try to control those two sides. Like talk a little, then listen to what your friends have to say then talk again. Just try not to blurt out things all at once. I also understand that it is hard to be yourself, its hard for me because im afraid myself isnt really that great, but my friends like it when i be myself. Just stay calm and whatever comes to your mind just think it over before you say it, and see if its the right time. hope i helped :] [ memoriesxforeverx's advice column | Ask memoriesxforeverx A Question ]

but i dontt really see what your problem is?
i mean most people have two sides, one thats hyper and one thats not, it just depends like how your day went and what kind of mood your in.
Alsoo everyone runs out of stuff to say sometimes..i mean like youu cant be talking all the time...i guess if it gets awkward, and youu feel like you need to say something justt say something random..
likee..
"i lovee your shirt, where did you get it"
orr
"soo what are your plans for the weekend".

By being yourself you can share your interests and be open about them. Try not to be shy meet friends that you have more in common with. It not like you will always have something to talk about but there are a lot of topics you can talk about so just keep bring up things. I can understand where you are coming from but all you can do is talk to people and let your other side come through.
