I can't make small talk -- I don't know what to do in these situations, I get so tongue tied that I sound stupid-- my anxiety gets so high I can't think. I've tried to get out of it --No lucK! The more I withdraw the more the leader tries to get you involved in team building. UGH!!! I just don't know what to do

Best advise is take it slow and be yourself...
Step back some if you need to explani to your issues
If you can not make small talk , Just relax if you can till something comes up you feel comfy talking about
Muffy
good luck to you
Thanks for this!
