I have no idea how to "mingle" with people I don't know. I don't know what to say first or how to say it without people thinking I'm weird. Also, I don't know how to keep a conversation going. I'm usually a one word anwser kind of guy. How do I fix this? Also how do I end a conversation? I'm a mess when it comes to interpersonal relations. Sometimes I can't even think of how I am friends with some people and how I met them. I think when I'm introduced to someone or I am forced to come in contact with them (i.e. they walk up to me, or we are the only ones in the room) then I am fine. I can't do things on my own. Does anyone have an suggestions?

When I say "end a conversation" i mean not making it awkard (like looking around) or just walking away...we've all had that experience.

People like to talk about themselves as that's what they know best. When you find something in common- people will start telling stories and talk about themselves. Be a good listener.

If you are afraid to talk yo people then you are gonna have to get over that not an option you can't generate a conversation just say anything that's not immature another thing is it girls and guys or just one of them cause it's a difference in what you need to do me myself am known around school as a crazy(in a good way) person and people usually want to get to know me but I know how to generate a conversation you can start by saying hello and ask them questions all your doing is getting to know them if you can't think of anything ask them what they are interested in then if your interested in that it is sure to generate more talking after that it should just come to mind

What's the worst that could happen? Is someone going to stab you for saying hello? Or call the police because you couldn't think of something witty to say? No? Well then why are you so nervous, just get out there, open your mouth and see what comes out, trust me you'll be fine.

keep a conversation going by talking about something interesting like football or other stuff. get more interested in talking. i use to be all shy like not looking at people and being the creepy quiet girl. now i'm saying hi to people that i just met or even the guys that r in my bus. but i know them. its just that they wont expect a hi from me. :D. be urself when it comes w/ frends
