Like today I saw my friend at a store and I became really shy and didn't know what to say. This happens ALL the time around people i don't know, my friends, and even my boyfriend. What do you talk about? Like when your with someone and neither of you two are saying anything?

this'll happen from time to time. start off the conversation by complimenting on what the person is wearing or how nice they look today. If it's one of your girlfriends, shoes is usually a good start. Ask them what their interests are and if you have something in common like music. start sharing w/them what you like. Don't stress out if you can't think of things to say. Remember the other person(s) should also talk as well.

you are being put in a place to carry the conversation, happens all the time, someone has to do it and you are being elected, because you always have. you let the long silence guilt you into saying something, let the silence linger a bit longer and let them carry it for a while, you may lose some friends but you will gain others.

Have confidence on yourself...address your shyness this is definitely a hindrance in communicating to other people...buy books where you can find ways on interacting with people around you....or better consult a doctor to help you address the problem...

Some people are really good at initiating small talks.
Just start having a genuine interest in people....ask questions.

It happens to me ALL the time too. I just stand there like a freakin' moron staring at their shoes or somthing. Wish I could help you but I suck at social situations.

just ask them a question and that can spark up the conversation.
