SO lately i've managed to smile at people and greet people, even strangers at the bus stop. also ive been able to have small conversations with some classmates. For example, last time I was at the bus stop with this girl from my school, then she asked me if i knew how long will the bus be. Then she started asking me about myself and other stuff. I was able to give full answers instead of the usual yes, no, idk. then i started asking a few things, simple things. this continued once in the bus. then it looks like she ran out of questions, and so did i. I could tell that she wanted me to say something. It started getting a bit awkward. luckily, we reached her stop, she smiled, waved, and left. ever since, every time i see her, she smiles and waves like if i've known her for a long time. This makes me feel good. i've been able to start a few conversations but after a few words my mind goes blank, then that old familiar feeling comes back. Can anyone give advice on how to continue a conversation? what do i say when i got nothing else, once ive asked all the basic questions. i think once i master this, ill be done with my anxiety, I'll even be able to talk to the girl of my dreams, even though crowds and group presentations still scare the crap out of me.
