IM INTELLIGENT, BUT I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO SAY IN ANY CONVERSATION. MOST OF MY CONVERSATIONS ARE LESS THAN 2 MINUTES LONG.

I have...sort of the same problem. Mine is kid of reversed because I talk too much. Of course the conversation only lasts 3 minutes because they get so annoyed of my constant chatter that they walk away. Figures, right? Anyway, talk about current events. The events you talk about depend on your age. If you're a teen, start with, "Omg, did you hear about the latest Brit/Kev breakup?" That should open up doors of celebrity scandals and gossip. Or if you are an older person, try "You know, the gas is....blah blah....economy....blah and so on". I don't really know much in the adult field so yeah.

In a world that has so much going on and things happening in and around you, you have NOTHING to talk about? Well you are right about one thing, you are intelligent but you lack knowledge and the basic skills needed to stimulate someone with conversation. Examine yourself and see what are your likes and dislikes, discover you first and perhaps then there should be some glimmer of hope for mankind.

Details, my friend...
see what your interlocutor is wearing, make a reference, if she's (he's) wearing orange, ask him /her if he/she likes that color, and make conversation.
I think you are very intelligent, you just need to pay attention to details, sometimes a normal commentary on the weather can help you thru a conversation.
Also, dont be so closed on yourself, i mean dont tell anyone your secrets, but if you are waiting in the dentist office, just make allusions to weather, magazines, how bad the traffic is, somethings like that. i can manage very long conversations, i think, if you want, contact me, email me and i will try to help you more.

You need to find some things you enjoy doing , get involved in life , go out and make things happen so you will have more to talk about .
This will change a lot of things in your life .

ask the person questions.....everyone likes to talk about themselves. Don't ask yes or no questions because that will get you nowhere again.

Talk about what is happening. if nothin' is happening then talk about what you did or what your friend did last night or this weekend. don't talk about what you know. i makes other people feel dumb.
