How do some people talk with such ease to other people and explain themselves so eloquently and calmly. Whenever I open my mouth I feel like I end up saying something silly and irrelivant and wanting the conversation to just be over with. Im so afraid I come off as unfriendly, and always have the urge to explain myself, just want them to know that really Im just awkward and it has nothing to do with them personally. How am I to build good relationships with other people with this anxiety I have. I feel like I continually ruin my chances at good friendships because I continually run away and am difficult to talk to at first. Im having a difficult evening of feeling inadequate and hopeless.
