Why am I so awkard? :(?

[octopai]

Whenever I talk to almost anyone I can never keep the conversation going and never know what to say to people. Things always get awkward with silences and super random topics that I bring up in order to seem less quiet. Im a really quiet person and unless its a topic im really interested in or talking to my boyfriend, I really have nothing to say, I wish I could just be outgoing like other people and have loads of friends who like to talk to me but im just too weird and boring lol Astrologically, why am I like this?

I am a cancer sun, cancer moon, leo rising, gemini venus, gemini mars, cancer mercury

I'm like that too so don't despair you're not alone. And sometimes Ithink about changing into that too but then I think "Why would I sacrifice what makes me unique and become a mindless minion?"

Well, what you seem to have on your case is a "socially retarded" characteristic. Now, it isn't as bad as it seems.
This is all tied into the recent cosmic happenings that have been going on above our very head.
Just kidding.
This is so easy to fix, it just means you have different likes and dislikes that those around you. Good things to talk about can be movies and tv shows, personal experiences, talking about your family, talking about what classes your failing and even all the way to what you do in the morning.
To keep a conversation going, remember you aren't the only person. Both parts of the conversation need to contribute. Ask your friends or peers questions about their likes and dislikes, ect, and in return they will ask the same of you.
Random topics are good conversation starters, but they can't keep it rolling for long unless your friends are exactly like you.
Really right now, you should be in your prime (astrologically).

Might be a cancer thing, I get like that especially over the phone, don't like the phone. Don't worry, don't over stress yourself just try & relax, don't be afraid of silence. If the other person doesn't keep the convo going either, the other person might be awkward too

Perhaps Mercury in the 12th house -- I have that placement, and I am the same (socially).

Sometimes things get really silent, but it's not that peaceful silence you enjoy together; it's as though you can feel the other persons tension-of-awkwardness through the air and you feel the need to calm them down ... but you can't, which makes things even more awkward because what you say is completely weird and a one way ticket to isolation.

I don't believe you're weird and boring; I believe you come off seemingly quiet because you have a really loud mind and can't seem to transfigure all of that into speech, and when you attempt doing so, you think no one's listening or you don't describe it properly. At least you have a boyfriend whom you've found to talk to; and, so long as you know what the topics are that you're interested in (probably the illogical ones, like me, about using imagination or "what if's") you'll be OK.

I do not mind being the outcast of a socialising group -- it's just not my place, and the people whom I respond to know it's not my place ...

There's this two books "the secret language of birthdays"
And "the secret language of relationships"

The first one is about your birthday it sort of descrives you because depending on the Day you were born you have a certain personality, it also tells you your stones and things like that
For example Acording to that book i'm a sagitarious-scorpio cusp
My stones and uses for them are:
Ruby: supports inner faith and courage to face the world
Garnet: balances sexual drives
Carnelian: keeps ones feet on the ground
Black pearl: grants calm an solace in troubled times

But everyone's is different so you would need to see yours


The second one is mostly about which guys or girls you should date acording to your birthday, which ones are better of as friends or which ones you work better with, which ones you should stay away from etc...

For example My b-Day is november 20 and My dating matches are guys who are born in this dates:

May 11 - 18
May 3-5
July 3-10
October 11- November 2
Dec 18-25
Jan 10-16
March 3-10
Jan 31- feb 7

I don't really follow everything the book says but i still think both are very interesting.. Just do whatever you feel is best for you

If you don't Wanna buy them you should see if they have them at the library or check your stuff at their website. The website says pretty much everything the books say with the EXEPTION of stones and uses, colors,plants and other stuff like that. That's only in the book sadly.. But if you're only interested in your personology profile then it's fine

I know its frustrating, everyone one needs social interaction no matter how u break that down. My taurus sun puts some hick ups in my communication sometimes so I get it lol. Best way to learn to communicate is through trail and error, its going to be hard but ure going to have to put yourself out there. Like any skill it needs to be practiced and learned. Im assuming your young by the way u put that ^ Try joining a club, ppl will share a common interest. Or take more of an initiative in conversation. People are like onions u cant always take people for face value and it might take some time to dig. You have some cancer influenece so use that sympathy and put yourself in their shoes. Hope that is of some help to u! Its not bad being an introvert if u r but if u want more socialization try being a happy meduim between introvert and extrovert.
