I'm not a terrible talker. If I'm having a good day I can talk pretty openly and be funny as well. However, 90% of this success is when I'm having a 1 on 1 or a 2 on 1 conversation. One on one I am beyond ok. Two on one I can handle. Once the group starts to get bigger I turn into a trainwreck. I feel this has affected my SMV a lot of times when a girl who is interested in me notices how I act in a group setting.

I blurt out useless stuff or my jokes fall flat, which then makes me shut up and not really give much to the conversation. Like I said, I've had good days where I'm the center of attention and I'm making everyone laugh effortlessly. But most of the time I stay quiet. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to talk so I'm okay with keeping quiet but sometimes I'm itching to talk and I'm afraid I'll screw up.

Don't even get me started on isolating a woman I'm interested in...
