Laconic Conversations

[spikefan777]

Does anyone else find themselves in situations where you can't think of anything to say, so the person your talking to (well in this case not talking to, lol) can't think of anything to say, so neither of you are saying anything? Then you feel guilty afterwards, because you feel as though it's your fault that neither of you had anything to say?

I feel that way alot esp. when I have to deal with someone person to person. We're probably being hypersensitive and internallizing it more than anything else.

yes I get that sometimes. specialy with someone I don't know, I feel like I am making THEM shy talking to me because I dont have much to say and I act awkword with them.

I feel like I am making THEM shy

One person who I act, as described above, around, made me feel so horrible the other day. This guy none of us knew, ate lunch with us and she acted as though she had known him forever. They talked SO much about EVERYTHING. I've known this girl for 2 years and we've probably gotten 2 sentences in MAX. So I know as a fact, that she's just like this around ME. I MAKE her shy.

that kind of awkwardness happens to everybody not just sp people its like verrucas and nosebleeds. watch oher people and youll see that they have also have awkward moments, even extrovert people.

I can relate. It's funny how I tend to blame myself for lapses in conversation, even if the other person is silent too.

Often though, what happens is that someone says something and I just can't think of a follow-up question. I feel that it's my turn to say something, but can't think of a thing to say! :x
