She can talk with random strangers like they've been friends the whole time. She says she was quite silent as a child and now she's making up for it. I don't think I can ever do that. I'm always shy around strangers and do not trust people easily. What about you?

That is good to know. Being able to carry a conversation is a great soft skill to have.

That's nice. I am a chatterbox too specially if we are travelling long distance and only have strangers for company

People don't believe me when I tell them I was shy as a kid and teen... I forced myself to talk to people after I got out of school... I didn't want to be shy anymore. Now I talk to everybody... all the time.

@jstory07 I let other people talk when I have to take a breath... My dad really did talk non-stop... After he passed away mom said she could finally say something.

People still think I am a shy person before they get to know me. I guess i am a mix of introvert & extrovert.

I am kind of quiet myself since due to this political correctness, I prefer to keep quiet since some people will take my jokes out of context and make me look like a villain just for being nice to them.

Same here. My mom is exact copy of your mom. She needs to talk with anyone about anything. I take time to talk with strangers

I wish I can have talent like your Mum! Your Mum must have a lot of friend. When I grows up, I feel insecure to talk with new people.

It takes practice, maybe do not be afraid to try? you do not necessarily need to do it all the time, just every now and tehn
