I feel very stressed out when I am around people. Talking to them is like doing hard work for me. When I approach people I always think "I don't know what to say". After talking to me once people dont want to talk to me anymore they think something is not right with me.I talk to a lot of people, but no one wants to talk to me again. People start to observe me after words.May be I am too nervous, but I am a smart person. Let me know what is it with me and if I can get rid of it.

i've had that problem for yrs. i feel nervous when some one knocks on my door. sometimes i won't answer. talking is a job for me too. it gives me much anxiety. i can't socialize at all if i don't drink beer first. try to reach into your brain and tell it not to care what people think. anita

Thanks for your response. But condition is too hard for me. Its difficult to make friends. And I want to know what do they notice about me that they dont want to talk to me anymore?

Rest assured you are not the only one. I too have a real problem talking to people. I feel like an idiot. I really think it's a self esteem issue. I just feel like I have nothing important to say. Unfortunately being like this leaves us appearing standoffish. I have been told that I seem stuck up, or better yet, my kids friends are afraid of me. Now I try to at least smile even if I don't talk to anyone. I don't look so damn unapproachable.
