Dear Help-

I was watching this new Fox show last night, "Get Real", and I was thinking how annoying the youngest brother is because he's a raging hormone but he acts socially retarded because he can't say what he really wants to girls.

I was watching thinking that I completely don't relate to the show, and I doubt if the show came out while I was in high school that I would relate.  I guess I've never had the problem of not having anything to say. 

Now you ask this question and I have no methodology or plan on how you should change to make yourself a better conversationalist.  What do you talk to your guy friends about?  What do you like to do?  Remember when you'd see your mom after school when you were young?  What did you have to say to her?  If you don't want to talk about yourself, try asking them some questions.  In all of my life experiences, even times where I remember saying stupid things where I felt like I wished I could take it back, I have never seen anybody flat out walk away or laugh in anyone's face, or reject a simple conversation.   Don't put pressure on yourself to initiate if you're not ready to do so.  It will all come natural in time.
