Hi there.., I am talkative person..but only with people I got used to hanging around with.., I am easy to be with and outgoing with my close friends but when I am around with strangers.. It's like cat got my tongue..=) I don't know how to start a conversation and I suddenly become shy.., I don't know why.. It's like I become a different person.., I find it hard to make friends when I am in a new job or even when I was in College.., I wanted to be friendly but I end up being regarded as a snob..too bad..

I don't find it that easy to make friends, because I don't like to be the one to make the first move when it comes to talking to people.
However, if someone else makes the first move, then I do find it easy to talk back to them. I can make friends in that situation, and I did make a lot of good friends at university this year, I just find it hard to be the person who would go upto someone else and ask them things about themselves when we both know nothing about each other.

Some people find it very easy to make friends and to start a conversation to a strangers. But too bad I'm not that kind of person, I'm also like you that has a shy personality. Probably if you will learn how to create a conversation then that's the start of it. Be careful also with the gestures that you should have in meeting new people because we really don't know what will be there reactions.

yeah right.., but it's just too hard for me to strike a conversation.. all i can do is give them a smile.. say hi.. and that's it.., i can't even think of any random topics that can make a good conversation... it's like my mind is frozen..=)

I find that it is very difficult to make friends. I especially hate the first day of school every year. I am shy and don't like to speak to new people.
I am not someone who feels comfortable speaking to strangers. It feels extremely awkward to speak to someone whom I don't know. But, I have to force myself to do it. To say Hi and all.
Otherwise, I will not have any friends for the whole year. However, once I get to know my friends and we are more familiar, I tend to become very talkative. BUT, i try to be friendly and try to pick friends whom have more common things with me!

its to put a smile on your face and say hi.if a person dont respond to that then there is something wrong with them. not you. if they say hi back go from there.most people will talk to you . you can start a conversation about anything. maybe thier the snob.

I find it easy when the new people i talk to have the same thoughts as me. Sometimes i find it akward when someone talks to me about make up or something because i am used to having boy conversations with guys. It is easier for me to be friends with guys than with girls.
