I feel like i cant talk

it's normal!

I do this all the time, but it helps my ego very much.
If I don't know someone, I simple observe them, how they act, what they say, how to talk etc.
And when I'm confronting that person or connecting with that person, I know nearly half of what they are!

I hate it when people say to me, join in the convo.
But this is normal.

I don't know why you don't speak, but I think it has something to do with connection. Like do people talk about what you like?

And I understand about telling a story being messed up.
Sometimes when I tried to tell a story that was funny, I end up saying it that's not even funny.

I see some people talk so fast and chat complete bull, yet people find their story funnyO_o.

It's normal and I suggest you talk to people who respect you and know about you.

dont see a psychologist, it's totally normal to want to be alone, maybe you just dont trust people, i dont know. i wouldn't worry about it.

THIS IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE. I was really bright and funny and charismatic and happy when I was a kid.

I feel like i could have wrote this, but the best we can do is try our best to meet people on a regular basis and get used to the idea of talking to one holding convos in general.

If you ever find your self in a situation where you feel someone is gonna judge you on your opinion then just think to your self "This nigga dont pay my rent!" and you surly will proceed to not give a fuck. Fuck therapy use that^

Oh. and dont smoke weed, that helps.

Oh - and DON'T find someone who is just like you. You'll just reinforce each other's problems. If you find another introverted little friend, you'll both just sit around acting awkward and mal-adjusted, while all the normal people go about business as usual. Challenge yourself. Force yourself to engage others. Practice, practice, practice. Talk about your shoes. Talk about your hair. Talk about what you saw on TV. Just don't let that awkward feeling take you over, and don't let yourself fall victim to a group of anti-social people. You'll learn only one thing with such people: how to be even more twisted.

I am now 35, and I was EXACTLY like you. I was a little extroverted child, and then after elementary and middle school I started feeling awkward just standing in front of someone. I hate to tell you this, but if you don't do something it will take you YEARS to overcome this problem. Your schoolmates will all have sex and act like little adults while you sit in your room reading a book - and that's the HARD TRUTH. So I say YES - go see a psychologist. Go see several. Just don't do any drugs and don't ever drink to get over your self-consciousness. Drinking is not a cure, and you might become addicted. You'll be fine, but you must confront your problem any way you can and don't listen to anybody who just spouts some bullshit line like "aw, you'll be cool...don't worry." You should worry, and you should do something about it ASAP.

Have you got a best friend? Try talking to them about it. Assuming that you can talk to your best friend fine,maybe go to a quiet party,like a birthday party or something and find another person to talk to,at the same time as your best friend.

Find someone who is similar to you in that aspect, that is what I try to do! I get like that in many situations, but sometimes, what I do I know this sounds silly, but I Drive my hippie car around listening to my fav. music loud, and feel confident and cool. wear something crazy so that it starts conversations and so that way ppl will talk to me, and it makes it easier for me to jump out of my shell

I'm just the same. Then they found out that I have Asperger's Syndrome, which can have a large effect on how you socially interact. I'm 21, have only two good friends and spend most of my time in my bedroom. Whatever it turns out to be, it's not weird or abnormal. It's just the way you are. =o]
