Hey, names Ray. I'm starting to get annoyed with my lack of
conversational skills. I've been called shy, quiet, all that fun
stuff. However I'm not really afraid of social gatherings or any of
that. I love hanging out with my friends and family. The thing is I
just dont talk much. If I knew what to talk to people about I wouldnt
appear to be so shy I think. It's when everyone wants to get together
to just sit around a campfire or something and talk, thats when I stop
enjoying myself because everyone is talking, and I can never think of
anything to talk about. There is always at least one person, during
these kind of gatherings that will say "whats a matter Ray, is
something wrong? your so quiet?". The only thing that really gets me
through these sort of things is that I just start observing everything
and taking mental visual notes, because I am an illustrator. Never
took a date to a resteraunt before because I dont want to bore them to
death with my lack of conversation. I don't even find silence awkward,
i don't understand why people feel so awkward when a silent moment
comes around.
