...See more Back in school I was the person who dreaded standing in front of the class giving a presentation when I go out with friends to social gatherings whether it’s a bar party barbecue ill sit there and be silent for hours only saying a few words i always wonder how people view me what do they think about a person who sits there and doesn't talk to anyone it’s not because I cant not because I have nothing to say I've had alot time to think about why why am this way it's hard to describe the feeling but in these situations when I do try and have a conversation maybe with a women that I know is attracted to me my words come out slurred I'll take long pauses sounding like an unintelligent loser that can't talk or have a actual real conversation with someone it sucks when that happens I  have negative thoughts racing through my head that makes it worse im not afraid of people i go out often I don't avoid going to events when someone asks why you so quiet because I don't want to deal with the embarrassment or rejection I've seen women that I know are attracted to me go to to there friends turn it into a joke that doesn't really bother me but it still sucks I would like people to just be honest and tell me how they view me what they think about this guy who doesn't talk to anyone I've been told by a few women im not capable of having a conversation not true I can and do without having this difficulty i seem to have in certain situations im hvac technician im in and out of houses owned by people I've never met in have no problem what so ever conversating with them why cant I when I go out I would love next time someone asks why you so quiet tell them these things I don't know how they would react i want to tell my closest friends can I trust them will they laugh about it behind my back will they help in some way idk so I keep it to myself and stay silent
