I have a problem with always being a quiet person. Everyone says that you just have to start more conversations and you will just start talking more but I don't think this is the case. I have just always been told by my friends and everyone that I am quiet and never say anything. I have moments where I do talk more than others but I want to just be more outgoing and not be quiet. I dont know what to do but its very frustrating. It gets to be a combination of not knowing what to say and then running out of things to talk about. I always think to myself how good it would be to just One of my best friends is the complete opposite of me. He is outgoing, jokes around alot, and has no problem talking with people and holding conversations.
I dont know if theres any books or anything anyone can suggest but this problem is getting serious and I think it really restricts me from meeting new people and meeting women and I getting depressed over it. I know I have alot of things going for me that I could attract women but they would never know what you have to offer if you can't communicate more. Its not that I am a social outcast with little outside communication but I just want to be more outgoing and alot of advice I received hasn't really worked for me. Maybe I just need to try harder but any help would be appreciated
