Is it normal to do not know what to say

I never know what to say to people that I don't know very well. I am not very shy, but when people talk to me, I just do not creAte an answer fast enough. Some times my face also turns red. I can only talk normally when I'm with people I'm used to. And it takes a long time to me to get used to people. Please give me some advice.

    I used to have this problem too but i got a lot better cause i figured i just have to put myself out there and talk to more people! Dont pretend to be someone youre not and be honest about your awkwardness : ) Im sure you will do just fine. If someones mean to you just ignore them LOL

    Small talk is for chumps... stay silent and stay away from trying to read the other persons thoughts. People will talk to someone who really isn't listening but shut up around someone who looks too interested or nervous!!

    talk about things that interest you and see if you have anything in common. hi, how are you is always a good start. asking the person what they have been doing recently. what they do for work. like Echoes said, the more you do it the more comfortable and confident you will be.

    Talk more and more to people you don't know till you beat the fear.

    Normal, many people have that problem.
