This is my second attempt at replying. The first time I was going to reply, it would have been more ignorant than I would have wished. Because out of habit I just skim over pretty much what everyone posts so I can say something.

It's about me. Me. Me. Me.

Or at least it was.

OP, I was once where you were at. Struggling with coping with my introversion and pick up. Deep down I liked and still do like my introversion. I will not deny that I like discussing ideas over people, its what they do makes them great. Blah blah, real philosophical shit. Stuff only thinkers could talk about for hours. But what absolutely KILLS us, you and me my introverted compadre, is our EGOs.

Everyone has an Ego, but introverts have it worse off. Were trapped inside our heads all day, our Ego is our most loyal friend, constantly telling us were ok even though everyone SEEMS so different(Which is true, EVERYONE is unique). We'd do nothing to hurt our Ego. Are you trying to hurt my Ego? Nope, you're wrong, I'm right; Ego saved! Look at your responses and you'll see the truth. You ask for help, but you supplicate your Ego anyways.

I'm only bringing this to your attention because if you're anything like me, you know what to do with the information. No amount of convincing from random people on the internet is going to help you until you sit down and really think about it yourself. Really consult if your actions are just a way of protecting your Ego.

While you're at it, contemplate why you even WANT to game. If you find other people constantly boring(which I think is just another excuse to protect your ego from the fact that you don't know how to socialize) why are you in it? You want to be intimate with another human being, but can't see why you would need to be genuinely interested in them? Do you see the fallacy in this, pretty much desiring an HB10 human-blow up doll? Recognize this is not the way human interaction works and will NEVER work. Restrain the Ego. It's counterproductive to the human experience.

Hello Ziki.

Meet Midget.

I am Midget.

I used to be in the harrowingly exact situation you are. But I suppose I would say now I'm only a fraction higher. The best way to shake off your introverted "I don't know what to talk about" personality, is to just lose yourself. Try something else out other than your normal everyday routine. Walking to work? Take a different path you've never walked through. What I mean to say is, you have to just lose what you are right now, and be open to new things. Be open completely.

You also have to start living in the present. Over analysing means you're living in the future. Because you're predicting some bullshit that you think really is, when in reality, it's totally not. If you feel down or depressed or just think you're unworthy, then you're living in the past.

The reason why you're so clueless as to what to converse, is because you already have things in your mind. A LOT of things. Like really, a lot. Both past and future thoughts. What you need to do, is just lose it all. Close your eyes, and start thinking in present tense. Your words, your thoughts, all in the now.

"Today is going to be a good day!" X
"Today IS a good day" √

"I wish I knew what to say" X
"I know what to say!" √

"This is going to be awesome!" X
"This IS awesome!" √

"I'm going to approach her" X
"I'm approaching her" √

It's no physiological thing to be honest. It's psychological.
