Is it normal that i can’t start a conversation?

So besides talking to girls sometimes I have a easy time to talking to people, but right now I’m at a party with people much older than I am, it’s for a wedding. 99% of them are 25/30 years older than me. Is it normal that at my age, (18 y/o guy) that I can’t strike up a conversation with these people? Also how do I get over my social anxiety with girls, I heard you can just talk to them but it’s so awkward sometimes and I cringe.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Your life probably needs more things in it so you can bring it up

    Try small talk. How was your weekend? Try to find a common interest.

    Try to listen more, and ask questions.
