I Am Confused About My Feelings

I know the people everywhere around me tend to be really nice people, yet I don't feel secure in myself lately. It's a really weird feeling. It's like people have no problem talking to me at first but then I have nothing to say back. It's like I'm already thinking too much and the worry on my face shows. And then they stop talking to me... Is that weird?

What you are describing sounds a bit like social anxiety to me. I suffer from anxiety. I have trouble finding the right thing to say in certain social interactions, and I rarely ever know what to say if it is someone that I don't know. I struggle to find the exact perfect thing to say at just the right moment (which never happens because perfection is a fallacy in itself), and yet still I continue to have this issue; like an infinite loop I can't ever seem to break free from.

If this is a real problem for you in that it's preventing you from living your life to the fullest, or keeping you from advancing in your job or career then you might consider talking to a therapist to help you get through this ordeal. If that is too extreme, then perhaps try family or friends. Talking out your problems with people who care can really be a great help to some.

I hoping for the best for you.
