Some people feel more comfortable talking about matters that are not personal. Start with talking about yourself to people you know and trust.

It sounds like you don't enjoy the attention drawn to you. I am the same way. You like focusing the conversation on others and that takes away from yourself. It is hard in social situations and you might fear how others react to your answers to these questions. They are your friends, and likely will not judge you. You can answer the question in just a few words so you can get more comfortable as time passes. As the conversation continues, you may be more comfortable opening up and sharing more information about yourself. Take it at your own pace. You are not alone

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?
