I thought about this question in respect of what I respond best to in someone; I think I feel most comfortable when the person I'm meeting for the first time is relaxed, easy going and willing to have a conversation about anything, from the weather to your journey that day. Listening and being interested in the person you're talking to also works really well, anything you do or say that puts another person as ease will help you in most social situations.

Pretend you're calm and relaxed, or just explain why you're so nervous. People will understand!! :))

Don`t compare yourself to others, be self confident and value yourself highly, be relaxed and without any prejudice.

Try to not anticipate people's reponses, but simply focus on yourself and what you are thinking and let other people deal with the burden of judging what you say. Hope this helped !

Honestly, I don't believe there is a "normal" way to talk to people. It's a hit or miss kind of deal. The best way to handle it is to do your best to let go and be yourself (even though it may be hard). If you can be yourself without being inconsiderate of others, you've done a good job. It doesn't matter what other people think at that point, because you've done your best. Don't strive to be the best, strive to be your best.

I'm not sure what abnormal talking is. Is it like ums and ahs too often, fidgeting, too loud, too shrill,?
I've heard of two ways to get past the ums or fidgeting. Rehearse what you are going to say if it is a speech or have good notes of what you want to discuss in a meeting, keep notes and refer to them as needed. Be well informed of the subject matter.
If you are nervous in conversing with others, think of a nice pleasant place or that someone you are comfortable chatting with. If you make a mistake and others laugh, learn to laugh with them. You are not the first nor will you be the last and carry on. It gets easier once you realize you are human like the rest of us.

I'm assuming that you struggle with social anxiety, Perhaps chat with your friends over social media because that way you don't have to worry about them seeing your reactions if your upset about that. Making friends over social media is much easier because you don't have to face that person right then, and you get to choose when you hang out.

This is a vague question unfortunately. It is hard to say what is normal, especially in an era in which so many different things are now considered normal. I would say just surround yourself with the types of people you consider normal, watch movies and shows with those types of people, and see how everybody interacts.
Also, see if you have some underlying worldview or mentality or way of processing information that might make you communicate differently than the people you consider normal.
If you mean that you are nervous and shy around people, perhaps go to a forum or group that promotes self esteem, or use meditation audios that can boost your self-esteem.

Taking normally to people is in fact a very simple thing, so first of all we should not make a big deal out of it. Anyways if you are hesitant/scared/any other feeling while talking you should do following:-
1. Take 3-4 deep breaths, while closing your eyes.
2. Imagine that you are the best and the situation or person is your junior/sibling/whatever makes you feel comfortable.
3. Speak naturally.
4. If you are not comfortable to look into eyes than see on eyebrows, nobody could tell a difference.
Try above steps and see the difference.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
