There is no such thing as being normal. However, there are a few basic things to do when placed in a public situation. Take a few deep breaths if you are feeling anxious and introduce yourself if you have not done so. Frequent eye contact will let your listeners know that you are engaged in the conversation. If you are just talking to the person for the first time in a while, ask them how they have been but don't press to much on their personal life. Try to avoid too many topic changes as well. In the end, what is really important is that you are able to feel comfortable and like yourself when talking to others. Practice makes perfect!

By being yourself, ask them how their day is and be polite. You can talk to them about a certain topic that is going on around you. Be cool and not pushy.

Practice video recording yourself and build your confidence. Everyone one is unique and has their own wonderful personality. Find friends who accept you for who you are, but also have good boundaries, and strive to develop good boundaries in your own life by learning about them.

It takes practice, you start off small by saying "Hello" or "good day". As you grow more confident, start having small conversations about the weather or your topic of choice. The more you become comfortable, the more you'll be able to talk to people. You can also practice on inanimate objects or your pet.

It's helpful when talking to others to try to find things you can relate on! Find some common ground and go from there. Remember that we all can struggle connecting and feeling "normal," but also that the idea of being "normal" is a socially constructed concept. There is no normal, and it is okay if some people don't connect with you. Others will! Don't give up!

There are times when we may feel nervous while we talk to another person. However this is normal. In order to overcome it and talk normally to people as you want, the only way is to build yourself esteem, and chat with as many as possible. This way you will have nothing to be nervous about and you will get experience in chatting with others. Good luck!

Talking to people normally is definitely a learning process. When talking to someone, try your best to give them your undivided attention. I understand that we can have one million things running through our heads at a moment when someone is talking but it is best to find a way to focus on who is talking to you. I usually pay attention to a persons tone of voice and try my best to give eye contact so that I'm paying attention.

First of all, please do not judge yourself and do not have sky high expectations of yourself. That's like putting limitations and setting so many hurdles all around you. Just enjoy the company of the people you are with. You do not have to contribute much. You do not have to keep the conversation flowing. Actually, it's really important to be a good listener when you are in someone's company. Many people who are in a conversation actually do not really listen to one another. They just chat. A good listener contributes by listening patiently and speaking only when it's needed.

Think about what you're saying before you say it, but don't concentrate on what the other person is thinking, concentrate on what you want to say. Breath whilst talking.
