Anyone else ever get the feeling your heart was trying to escape out of your mouth when you try to talk to someone?

Why are you coming up on amphetamines ( speed ) or something?

no I just always get nervous trying to talk to people. Mainly a fear of what they think of me or what I say cause of my past

Past is past, forget it, go ahead.

Nah, I got the chat gene.

If you can think of nothing to say, say nothing.
Gals like the strong silent ones :-)

Once upon a time I lacked confidence. Just remember that courage is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid but doing it anyway.

Doesn't every female have that?

Just be yourself other people may feel the same good to use humour breaks the ice .

[COLOLR=PURPLE] Naw I seem to open mouth and it all spills out...

Sometimes it is not what they want to hear...

I feel for you, this can be a big issue in your life.

If you never try - well - you will never know what might just

happen - Could be wonderful !!!

Girls get nervous too. Just always be polite.

Be yourself. Believe in yourself ..you are just talking to a human being. The worst you could do has already been done somewhere in the world. Besides that moment is just a moment in time. If it goes badly it will be over soon. If it goes well then smile

I used to be a shy child. I could talk to the kids just fine, but the adults I had a hard time talking to.

I am over that now!

Best of luck to you

tried to send you a message but im not eligible to contact you.
my thoughts returned to the part where you talk about something from your past.
sorry to bother you.
I just want to share a bit of friendly advice.
if whatever happened is something traumatic, you might want to seek professional help.
don't let fear rob you of the opportunity to embrace true happiness.
I say this looking back and thinking of many lost years when fear dominated my choices.
wish you all the best

Oh yeeeaah,sure,took me a good while to get over it too,but my job helped me with that one,as I was forced to interact with people more,rather than crawling back in my shell as I often would,so it just comes natural now,like they say,"just be yourself",lmao but if being yourself is like how you are now,then DON'T be yourself ,come out off your shell ,out of your comfort zone,try and let it come natural to you,you don't have to say any type magic words lol,cracking the ice is all you need,to do that is more simple than you think,watch this,say you meet a nice attractive lady in the grocery store,you want to talk to her but scared and don't know what to say,you see her pick up a box of cereal,you can be like,wow,those are my favorite too,and she be like,oh my son actually like those,or my boyfrnd likes those,and there,you've gat a conversation already,and this where you gata be observant,is she smiling,does she look uncomfortable?And second,if she says,oh,my boyfrnd or,husband likes those,theeen,you would know that either she's taken,or not interested,it's really simple man,practice it with strangers ,anybody,good luck!

My only disagreement with this is that the fear of talking to people isn't necessarily who you are. It's one aspect that needs to be overcome. Other than that one little point, this is sound advice.

With me it's more like choking on my foot..lol...but I still try..hope you get past any fears you may have that make it hard to speak with others...once you get past the first few words it's not so bad..

Aaaaaaaaaaawwwww Romeo,be kind

No worries young man just talk about something you are interested and excited about and remember its just as important to be a good listener.Good luck, have some fun, and don't try so hard,
