When you're in a group and that one talkative person leaves then everyone slowly splits up.

[Starrynight]

biggest weakness is trying to engange with people asking them questions, commenting on their answers BUT they dont even try to carry on conversation

[mathewman]

i was gonna stop watching this video but i couldn't. this guy really knows how to talk to people and keep them interested. very interesting stuff

[ParisQueen]

I'm afraid of saying something incorrect and be made fun of. I also tend to completely freeze in a conversation not knowing what to say next.

[ProudSF]

My biggest weakness is eye contact. For example, I don't know what to look at when I break eye contact and it's hard to maintain eye contact sometimes as well. Either I make bad eye contact or I stare the person down.

i completely fail at smalltalk. i have no issues having deep conversations etc because i know a lots of stuff. but at small talk i completely fail it just seems so stupid

[orangeporanges]

my biggest weakness is trying to engage people in a conversation and trying to relate to them but fumbling my words, and then getting nervous to the point where I don't know what to say!! i am pretty confident with people i know, but then with people i don't i become this nervous, shy ball of awkward!!

My biggest weakness would be asking all the questions and expecting the other person to reciprocate at some point, and that person rarely does so; and when they finally do, it just catches me by surprise and makes me speechless. I don't feel the need to talk about myself unless the other person feels genuinely interested in me. If I were to talk about myself, it would usually make me feel selfish to do so. I like being curious about other people, so I ask about the person I am talking to.

I have Aspergers (it's a type of high functioning autism) and I've always had trouble with maintaining conversations and being charismatic.
Now, after years of practice, my social skills have improved TREMENDOUSLY, and I can talk to any woman, man, child, for hours and have interesting conversations with them.
But the catch is that they have to be a stranger. After awhile I can't have conversations with close friends or family, that were as engaging as they were in the beginning.
It's probably because of a lack of shared interests or hobbies with my family, but I want to know how to overcome that, and still have fun conversations with them on a daily basis.

I often feel I don't fit in. An outsider. And the problem is not in the fact that English is my second language. I experience similar awkwardness speaking in my mother tongue. I am usually brave enough to start a conversation but fail miserably at keeping a person interested in either what I'm saying or continuing to have a conversation with me. I feel uncomfortable meeting new people due to the fear of rejection. Would love the opportunity to get down to it and break free.

I am a painfully shy entrepreneur who tends to look sad around people. I am not sad, just nervous.  When I get nervous, I make outrageous comments and become memorable for  the wrong reasons. I come off as being a shy person with crazy/dirty/weird thoughts. But, only the shy part is true. LOL

[Nancyox]

I always thought certain awkward people were endearing because I can be awkward sometimes and I don't feel pressured around other awkward people. They usually aren't full of themselves or condescending. Once you let them know you aren't judging them they open up like a flower. At the same time, you are going to be judged in life so it's good to have tools to deal with that.

I don't know what to say
I'm awkward
I'm confusing sometimes
I don't really smile
Girls are pretty
I don't know how to keep a conversation going
Fear of rejection
And no confidence

[leksetengah]

my biggest weakness is trying to make conversation with 2 or more people who know each other and i'm alone

[mksketchms]

Me- hey!
Person- hey :)
*long awkward silence *
Me- "it was a pleasure meeting you, thanks for chatting."
:)):):))soml

“You’re going to GRATEFUL, not weirded out.” Best advice my dad should’ve given me

[NeneBoo]

My problem is carrying on a conversation. I can start it, but once I'm in a middle of a conversation I just stop talking and start nodding my head and don't put any input in the conversation were having. It's like I freeze and don't know what to say to add my thoughts and opinions to whatever subject were talking about. It's like I lose interest too quickly or get bored. Normally this happens to people I don't know or people who's conversation I'm just not interested in. I hate it and seem very awkward .😓😳

my favorite part was when he told a story about how to tell a story by telling a story about that time when he told a story at 18:00

[Reavels]

I am afraid that i'm not funny so I don't like to talk to people who are having fun in a conversation because I think i'm gonna make it dull
