i just had my roommates parents come over to my room. and i didnt really say anything to them besides "Hi" and "Hello" .

my attitude was fine, i wasnt like very anxious . which is good because it is difficult to talk when im with anxiety. but the problem is that i didnt know what to say and stuff

is not the first time i have an experience similar to this, i also have it with like proffessors, teachers, strangers, cashier lady, etc

plz i wana learn some manners, help me how

I can totally relate to that. I always rely on everyone else to keep the conversation going. My mind just goes blank after I get past the hi and how are yous.
It doesn't sound as though you were rude. What gives you the idea that you need better manners? You just couldn't think of anything to say. It sounds that though they couldn't think of anything to say either. It's as much their fault as it is yours.

yeah, that's awkward, whenever my roommate's parents stop by i only say hello or sometimes they'll make small talk with me.

i just go by ear adn try to come off as nice and open. i guess it's one of those things that gets easier the more comfortable you are.

You was not rude newshyguy.Don't beat your self up over it.Having manners and coming up with things to say in a conversation are two completely different things.You just have practice and try and not to worry about it as much.

:arrow: i think you should just say hello and smile. you dont need to say anything. if they make small talk with you then that is fine. but they are not there to see you anyways. prehaps you can offer to make a cup of tea or coffee for them. but if you feel to unconfortable there then just go for a walk until they leave. :)
