Some people i just cant have a conversation with

Some of my friends, I'm totally open and I can just say anything I want and we'll have a good time together. Not with sex

Some friends it's just awkward silence and the only topics I can bring up are like "so what did you do in your class"

    It sounds like you have miscategorized acquaintances as friends. That seems to be a common thing today.

      I don't want to agree with this but then I thought of all of the people who have tried to be my friend vs. all of the people who I have actually decided to spend time with and it confirms what you said.

      At the same time...

      @OP
      I know that I would be able to have these friends as friends if I put the effort into making the conversation but I don't want to because there ARE people out there with whom I can make easy conversation with.

      By effort I mean nitpick. "What did you do in class today? What subject are you taking? How do you feel about that subject? What is your favorite subject? Why?" you can get a person talking about something they love if you ask them enough stupid but necessary questions. I have made some friends because they had interests that I wanted to learn about. So it's up to you. Don't waste your time if you are not willing to put forth the effort. s

    "Not with sex" was it really necessary to say that?

    Any ways moving on.

    Yep those other friends, acquaintances and or colleagues i refer to as hello friends

    like hello how are you and that is it that is the only interaction we have all day.

    Now my friends the real friends the people i actually call friends i could tell them anything and they would not look at me in a weird way that is true friendship.

    That's normal. You will find yourself having more things in common with certain people. Then again, there are certain people that can pretty much go up and have a conversation with anybody, which is something I've never really been able to figure out. At times, that's something I really wish I could do, but it seems like no matter how hard I try it just doesn't work.

    There could be various reasons why the conversation isn't working. Either they're insecure or they suck at small talk or you scare them somehow or maybe, just maybe they really don't want to talk to you.
    I can't tell you how to know which it is. But if you find out PLEASE tell me.

    Obtain more confidence, try to learn that it's not awkward.
