Question

sometimes I am talking to people and I am just talking normally and don't even think anything about what I am saying, but as I am in the midst of talking I think about how meaningless what I am saying may be to the person I am talking to even if it is interesting to me, e.t.c., i.e. I may be talking about computers to my father who has a short attention span and has never been exposed to computers and knows nothing about them, and I could be talking normally, but then I will think about what I am saying and who I am saying it to and suddenly become nervous and sound strange and gradually stop talking, or like sometimes I am on the phone in my dorm room talking freely until I remember my roomate is in the room, and then I start sounding nervous and it becomes hard to talk. I don't know why this happens. Am I worried about what others think about me? And is there any way to get over it? How? What specifically do I do? Does this ever happen to anyone else?

Answer 1

I can't say I have done that. As for talking in circles so to speak, tell your friends, and if their your friends they will understand...tell them to correct you everytime you do that, but after they call you on it, the hard part is you need to strive to keep talking after they call you on it. Yes, it will be ackward at first, but with time and practise you should be able to over come.
