The looking to sides - well not everyone likes to make constant eye contact (i dont anyway so ill look around/sides :p:

)
The friend thing... well some friends can be like that *shrugs*
Perhaps its just happened a couple of times recently so you are noticing it more? Just cos a friend joins in the convo doesnt mean you are out of it, just continue to listen/contribute...

Oh i completely get where your coming from, ive had that a couple of times recently, i think some people are just more assertive/rude :p:

If it kills the convo, just try picking it up or just bring up another topic if no one is talking? Ask questions, people love to respond/hear themselves talk :p:

The more you 'practise' talking or the more you converse, the more skills/more confident you will be in doing it, just dont be so self conscious and over think every little detail, enjoy the convo for what it is.
Could just be the people you talk to aren't your type and you might find other people who are easier to talk to!

Exactly the same here. Sometimes people start ignoring me and concentrate on someone else while I'm literally in the middle of saying something. Then I just trail off. ie, "Yeah it's ok but... but nobody is listening to me and now I'm talking to myself which is sad but oh well". And they don't even notice that.

See i personally think in those situations you need to be more assertive (esp if its your friends doing it!)
Like i might let it slide once or twice but after that i'd say something like;
Well just talk over me why dont you, how rude! (and give a cheeky glare or something)
Then they will either listen to your point :p:

Or if you then dont want to say it but want to point it out, just be like;
No, no obviously your point is more important :wink:

By doing that, i think it stops people talking over you like your some doormat.

Perhaps this thread should be retitled: "Paranoia".

Don't worry about it.

Stop taking the medication - it's a false prescription.

Listen to some Bob Marley.
