Yes, I have some sense of this. I also pretty-much avoid getting into conversations with people. I don't do it much & I'm not very good at it. I sometimes also feel embarrassed by how I handled it. It is true, though, that conversing with others is a skill that can be learned. The more you do it, the better you get at it. So my thought on the subject would be to keep doing it. Chances are you'll get better at it over time, moooo2u. Good luck with this!
