Is it normal that i am unable to start a convo?

I cannot start a conversation with many people. With close friends, yes, because I know they'll accept me for who I am, but with people I don't know very well I just stand there awkwardly. They'll try to say something but I'll end up replying in a way that everyone thinks is a little odd. Is this normal?

  • Well i dont think it's abnormal.. I think in my entire life i've started a conv w/ people i just met only 3 times (?)
    I don't know i why.. i swallow my tongue, and then when they ask me, i say the most stupid and odd things ever..
    I think I feel kinda insecure.. That others will not accept me, or..im not good enough to say something interesting.. But still don't know .. i'm guessing...but i cant help it! I've tried
