I've asked a few people and everyone thinks this is strange, anyone else like me or how hopefully how to correct it?
I cannot for the life of me initiate conversation with someone i dont know. For example all through high school. If i didnt know anyone sitting around me I would not start up small talk and thus make friends like most people. I would sit there and listen to my ipod like i was alone in the room. However if someone spoke to me I can keep a conversation going and carry from there, ask someone if they wanna go for a coffee after class, etc. Heck, even sometimes I'll walk by my friends with just a casual nod and a smile because i cant seem to know what to say.
Thats not to say i dont WANT to talk to people, by all means I do, I'm a very outgoing and confident guy around my circle of friends, hell I never shut up around people I know well. even in high school I always wanted to talk to that person sitting beside me but I honestly had/have absolutely no clue what the heck to say without seeming creepy or something... I've never understood how someone can randomly walk up and begin talking to a stranger endlessly. although Ive always wanted to I have no clue where to begin.
Am I weird or what? lol
