I honestly have a hard time talking to people I don't know. I can talk to my friends fine, but thats why I'm not a big party person. I'm not good at making small talk at all because honestly, I can't ever think of anything that would interest the other person. This only happens with people I don't know. It's very strange, and I hate it. But what can I do? I try enough that any normal person would have developed this skill by now, but not me. Very strange.
