Too scared to tell stories

[Hero]

Hi, I find it impossible to tell stories in front of people! I feel that people will drift off and decide to talk to someone else.

It's happened a lot before, so my brain now thinks "You're not good enough, they don't like you". I have said things that have cut conversation dead a lot of times. People have no time for my words!

This fear makes me go all quiet and inhibited. I went to this party that other day, and hid in the kitchen because no was paying attention to me. Ahh, its so frustrating!

Sometimes I will tell a story and then mid-story I get so embarrassed and start blushing, so I cut the story short and in consequence, my story sucks. I guess the best thing you can do is just make a joke about how bad your story was. That is, if you can even speak at that point.

Tell me about it. I suck at this too. As a matter of fact I think i rarely ever use long frazes anymore, if I do i almost always have to stutter a bit or **** up a word.

Forget about stories my social skills are so pathetic that I can't even give a proper answer if someone asks me 'How was your vacation?'

Same with me that's why I always give one or two word answers like 'yeah', 'good' or 'that's nice'
