Is it normal that i cant keep a convo flowing?

Basically... when i was younger i was so out going and i had alot of friends and as far as i can remember i never had any problem making coverstaions with people. conversations without the awkward silences. nowadays i have no clue where my confidence has gone and these girls i call my "friends" who yes they are my friends as i enjoy the time we spend together and in a group i can talk with them. but i dread being alone with anyone because i can never get a good jokey light hearted convo flowing. im always thinking what should i say next? how do i end this awkward silence? and i just feel. uncomfortable with everyone! so pls someone tell me hwat happened to me?

    Many people with anxiety disorders feel like that. It's not that they're awkward, they are just anxious about the social situation

    Just keep asking the other person questions about themselves, look interested in their answers and they'll love you.

    I'm the same exact way. I always try to avoid situations where I'll be alone with someone because I'm very embarrased that I can't get a conversation going.
