I don't know why I'm sharing this with you guys, but I am. Have a nice day/evening.

Csargo, I definitely suffer from the very same. Lately I've been trying to talk more, and so far it seems like it's only been good. But trust me, I can sympathize. We should find some seminar or something for outgoing-ness.

I find it difficult to come up with things to say relevant the conversation, since I don't really know that many people and thus cannot correctly follow the story. Hopefully we can get over this hump in our personalities. I hope you do better. My advice? Just start talking more to people, regardless of how stupid you sound. It's weird, but people tend not to mind surprisingly enough.
