it's a big topic of discussion amognst communications experst. i think it wont make it worse, just got to differentiate between internet socialisation and real life socialisation.

Really good topic.
It's all psychological with a little bit of upbringing like Tech mentioned. I know when I was growing up, I had a really outgoing social father who could talk to anybody and everybody really well and leave a memorable impact on them, he's still that way. My mother, on the other hand, is almost the complete opposite: she's very quiet, especially at social events. She's pretty much a one-on-one talker.
I'm kind of in the middle. I can talk to strangers, but very rarely does it go any further than small talk. When I get to know the person on a more personal level, I can have great conversations with them. In big groups, I usually stay quiet and every once in awhile make a remark to make people laugh. I don't like to share what's on my mind or open up unless I know the person pretty well. I'm not a fan of public speaking either, but I'm pretty damn good at it lol.
I figure it's like this: if you don't have some serious self-esteem issues, we're all pretty young guys and still figuring things out. That's why I don't really sweat it. I notice improvements in my social interactions all the time, and as long as they stay constant, I have nother to worry about.

The thing that I don't get is if you can't force 'it' than how are you supposed to break out that shell?
Becuz for me I gotta force myself, ya know?
And I can't help it. It's like I don't want to be this way but I just can't fuckin' help it. There's nuthin' I can do.
Its kinda like what MTL's Most was sayin'. I am comfortable around the people that I'm always around but when I'm out of that environment it's like fuckin' crickets.
The funny thing is, is that I was never ever this way before now its just all the sudden.
How can a person even lose social skill ya know?
I don't know man, ya'll posting some good shit though!

Before I moved to the US I was really social. When I moved to California, I seemed to stop talking to most people until I rarely socialized with many people. Now I just chill with the people I know.
