you start
I absolutely hate starting a conversation. I get scared to because I always think that they are either too busy and that I might be bothering them, or they don’t want to speak to me which is why they didn’t start a conversation first. And if I get a short response or nothing at all, I immediately think I got on their nerves and that they are mad at me.

I love starting conversations! Don’t be scared! Just figure that the other person is just as nervous as you! I talk to strangers all the time. If they don’t want to talk, you can tell. They won’t look at you when they respond and they’ll be terse.
@nicole: I get the feeling that this person is talking about people she knows not strangers, mainly because I have the exact same feelings. I also feel that if/when I do talk the dumbest thing imaginable will/has come out of my mouth and that I should avoid that person in the future.
I am great at striking up conversations with the people I interact with that I don’t know. like cashiers or people sitting next to me on a plane.
OMG. i feel the exact same way. or when im talking to some via aim or text messaging, and their response seems plain or non exciting, i automatically think they are mad at me and that i did something to piss them off.
