I’m Afraid Of Talking To New People Despite Loving It
And I may have found the solution to this problem.
It’s a funny realization to notice you love talking to people but can’t seem to start a conversation.
I’ve always been considered as someone who cannot stop talking. My explanations in conversations are so long I rarely get the opportunity to get to the point.
Despite this, I still have a large group of friends throughout the world and can often find someone to have a drink with me if I want company.
How I made those friends? To be honest, I am unsure about this.
I believe it stems from luckily having made very out-going friends and simply joining in many groups, thus extending my own circle.
Little by little, those connections grew and people in those groups became friends. I definitely have some “context friends” whom I love but I probably would lose sight of if we didn’t meet in our usual setting of partying.
Either way though, I don’t have a problem to talk to people I know.
When it comes to meeting new people however, that’s a whole other story.
I cannot find words or topics to mention, my eyes stray away from the other party, and I start panicking.
