...See more Hi all, Im new to 7cups. Ive recently been having the worst time with my anxiety, its been more intense and inredibly difficult to deal with. So I have known this person for quite a while and weve recently started to become ‘out of work friends as well as work friends. They are an incredible person, so honest, kind and inspirational. But Im struggling so much to talk to them, Im so awkward and shy around them, I honestly dont know why, Im not like this with anyone else. When I want to talk my mind draws a total blank. Literally I cant think of anything to say, even when talking online I cannot think of a single thing to say to start a conversation. Everyone ive spoken to just says ‘Be yourself and itll be fine but I cant just ‘be myself it doesnt work that way. I was wondering how anyone deals with this kind of thing? How do you start conversations with people when you feel shy and awkward around them? What do you talk about, without it being superficial and ‘boring?
