Talking

[unfullfilled]

ok, so i have this problem... whenever i talk to anyone, and i mean everyone friends and all, i really can't think of anything to say. Im not really a boring person, but i have absolutely nothing to say, it really annoys me.

I'm exactly the same usually. I'm not sure if there's much you can do really. You'll just have to try your best to be a part of a conversation, but I know it's not easy.

It's hard, I'm kinda like that, sometimes I just can't engage in a convosation and just look blank, the best way to stop this is practice talking with someone, be it your family or a close friend, then you can build up this skill, because if your gonna be in a office/public sector job (which is almost every job) you need excellent communication skills.

I get like that sometimes. I've found that its usualy due to lack of confidence, or I am thinking about what to say so much that i cant think of anything. (I doubt that makes any sense, but i know what i mean ;) )

lol that makes complete sense to me, thats my other problem...

Self-confidence is probably your problem, maybe just practice it by talking to people on msn/any im (or even the flash chat or shout box on vt!) for ages, then you will pick up conversation skills, then you can talk to people more confidently :)

that sounds like a good idea actually, ill give it a try. Im still open to advice though

Try asking a question and let the other person start the conversation, usually you will get in the drift of the conversation and it will get flowing

Good luck :D

Oh yeah just totally ask a girl about herself! Trust me she'll love to talk about... HER! :D

Just listen to what she has to say sincerely and offer your opinion from time to time and she WON'T think that you're a boring person with nothing to say. She'll just think that you choose your words carefully and you're a really good listener! :D

its not specifically about a girl though... sure there IS a girl, but thats not where i was going with my question. She doesn't like me the way i like her, we're friends. My question was about people in general.

Yer i agree with everyone else. Just ask a question and it should open up the conversation. Just ask what people have been up to or about something you watched on TV the night before. Just be like "Did you watch........ last night. Trust me its a great way to get people talking.
