[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh this is me. I don’t realize I’m doing it until LATER. My problem is I have been working on for years.. low self-esteem. I have esteem in some areas, but not around others. I clam up. Like I said, I’m working on it. Sometimes I manage well. Other times things are on my mind, I can’t give my ‘anxiety’ (not anxiety, but whatever you wanna call it) all of my attention. So, I revert to my unsociable and nervous self.[/quote]

I'm like this too. I feel SO awkward sometimes and really have to psych myself up to make an effort to be friendly and not shy but sometimes I'm not in the right headspace. It can be easier to talk to someone else if I know of a specific conversation topic or have to mention something related to our kids or something than I if I'm like "make conversation! Be interesting! But not overly personal! God, I'm so boring, I have nothing to say!"

Anyway, advice my mom gave me that I STILL repeat to myself 20 years later is "when in doubt always do the friendly thing." I now give this to you, OP. [/quote]
