I am usualy not that shy about it ... + if I am new somewhere I like it myself that people start talking and show some interest so why don't do it yourself??

I have got better than I was, I used to be so shy I could hardly start a conversation and its alot worse with members of the opposite sex

I will say though once I get to know someone you cant shut me up

I do this too, whilst generally taking the out of myself to make that person feel more at ease!!!! that makes them feel superier thus making them more relaxed. just remember, she's probably more nervous than you.

I'm TERRIBLE at smalltalk. It's one of the drawbacks of being an introvert.

i hated it when i was the new person anywhere. you just want ppl to talk to you!! just say anything. anything at all. slating off the boss or warning them to watch out for someone is always good i think.

but i'm positive they'll appreciate ANYTHING you say

I'm awful at small talk. Plus I tend to be involved in very awkward situations...

I'm very shy and find it hard to talk to new people. I won't usually be the one saying the first word

But there a quotation that says something like "better to remain silent and look like a fool than open your mouth and prove it" When people comment on how little I speak I always say that. Then they are the ones to be silent

On the other hand, when I trust someone I can speak and speak, and speak...
