What do you have the most trouble with when it comes to socializing?
Probably the worst is that I will talk about physics and software. I can't tell if the person is bored or does not find the conversation interesting unless they say something. I was called "Physics Freak" at my old school for this instead of "Passionate". |

Knowing what to say to a new person and starting a conversation out of it.

| Keeping the conversation going. I tend to say something that doesn't trigger a response, and the inevitable silence follows. |

| Confidence in myself. I can do it fine its just I have issues with self esteem that make me closed off and defensive beyond something superficial. |
