I am socially awkward

Read "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It will change your life.

My boyfriend used to be kind of this, he still is sometimes. He is not good with words, he doesn't talk much and he gets shy when there are people around. even with me he kidn of had trouble to speak and explain stuff, he's getting better. but the best is that he's the best listener ever, i do the talking and he listens and he's happy about it. i mean, he talks as well , just not as much.

i talk a lot.
ops.

Just try and be yourself, don't worry so much about what everyone else will/is gonna think...

thanks guys

I had this problem a great part of my life (I just turned 18) but I'd always want to get over it. So I started little by little trying to talk to who would come talk to me, then with who was by my side all alone, and it went like this. But till I met my new best friend around 4 months ago I'd think I had an antisocial personality. The thing was that I didn't have met someone who I could totally be me and say anything that came to my mind yet. And it was kinda funny because we both weren't of talking much with who we hardly met and we were studying on the same class till the beggining of the year, but we would only meet at our class party and start talking out of nowhere (like when we were at the queue, or when we would do some class work together). Now we never shut up when we are with each other. The thing is, you just have to be open to meet people and out of a sudden you'll meet the right ones who you'll be able to get trough all these problems (and sometimes they're the ones who you see maybe see everyday but never thought it could happen).
