I am VERY shy and it is difficult to strike up conversation. You can find something to compliment about them like their clothes or hair or something that you are comfortable discussing. Say how nice or coincidental it is to see them again. Talk about family, food, tv shows.If you are in a store, try to make up a conversation about whatever food or product you are standing near. If it's close to meal time, mention that you're hungry and ask where a good place to eat nearby is. If you're bold enough, ask if that person wants to join you because you hate eating alone.

Only if I feel a strong need to make a very good impression on them. Otherwise, I love meeting new people and getting to know them and their life stories, likes and dislikes, etc.
To get over shyness, just concentrate on the person, not on what they think of you. Focus in their hair, their eyes, their look, their clothes, question in your mind how old they are, what do they like, what may have hurt them, what is their favorite food, etc.? You can even turn the conversation to your benefit if you ask some of those quetions, depending on the appropriateness of the question per the reason you all are talking. Remember to smile and really engage in the conversation and pay attention to the other person. Even ask them to give (more) examples of what they are discussing with you. That really turns people on when they think you are interested in them!

Yes always awkward meeting people first time because you are always trying to make a good impression. The second time can go well if you hit it off the first time meeting.

Yes, it may be. But no if you are looking forward to knowing new friends. Be friendly even when you meet them the next time, greet and talk to them as if you known them for years. They will get used to you when you smile a lot and seems like a friendly person.

No - I love meeting new people. I think part of the discomfort people feel is a result of them fearing that they are being judged by that person.
Its all about your attitude. If you approach the meeting of new people as an exciting opportunity to learn from them, or make a new friend and expand your world in one way or another, you will have less discomfort.

It really depends on when and how you meet them. If you're meeting them for the second time, and you forgot their names, say: " I'm not really good with names, but I'm trying! make a joke about it! " Duh, that's me!" Women are usually easier to talk to each other, unless one of them are stuck up. If you start the conversation with a question like: "where did get that top? I really like it!" and be sincere! and don't be sarcastic! You'll get the hang of it, It's kinda fun after awhile.

I usually don't have that problem...I tend to just be myself, if they like me fine, if not no big deal. I tend to just try to make people feel comfortable and give them my attention...they feel more relaxed and at ease and the whole getting to know each other process works better that way....I also try to remember each person's name and something from the first conversation...they feel like I am interested and causes them to try to do the same thing!

you've just described the same thing i go through with EVERYONE. since i'm somewhat shy people don't try to understand or feel like not giving me a chance. maybe someday i'd have no problem and tell these people what's with wrong them:Unfriendly and deserved to be called snobs instead.

I was extremely shy when I was a child, then I got angry at myself.and read positive thinking books, took two mind control courses.and now I am a great salesman.If you don't like something about yourself .change it.
Don't worry, have faith.worry is bad.faith is good.don't think so much.don't doubt yourself. just be yourself.let things flow.Peace
