I'm 17 in high school right now and I've been reading TRP for 6 months. I go to the gym 5 days a week to work out since then and my grades have been great. The only problem is, I just cannot have a real, serious conversation.

In groups of my best friends I can make jokes and everyone laughs their asses off. I can have serious, enjoyable conversations with one person if there is a group around me. If it's a one on one conversation with a guy friend however I just cannot have a conversation and any personality I've had has been lost. I cannot think of anything to say, and the whole thing become awkward. I'm okay with silences, but not silences for 20 minutes+.

The same thing goes for girls. This really cute girl tried to start a conversation with me a couple times and I completely shut down. I really really really want to talk to her but I cannot think of anything to say besides, weather is nice. When I'm by myself however, I have an analysis of everything around me immediately!

So what can I do to fix this?
