Conversations

I am so shy and scared that I don't open my mouth and have conversations with people. That is why I probably don't have many friends.  I trip over my words and draw blanks at what the words are, I sound so stupid.  I was trying to say to someone as they were leaving our house for them to "stop by again".  I said, "stop my". 
I know I have never been diagnosed with dyslexia but I have all the symptoms of it.  I am very thankful that my numbers are solid when typing.  I had all that experience with entering phone numbers for customers as an operator.  Then it switched from phone pad to keypad, which is backwards except (I just typed "expect" see!) for middle like is same 4-5-6
So here I am trying to make new friends in South Carolina and I get all jumbled up on my words.  It is hard enough for them to understand my northern accent, but then through the wrong words in there and they are really confused!  It is like my brain is mush.  I know the word, but just doesn't come out of my mouth right.
OPEN MOUTH - INSERT FOOT
Add my horrible language skills along with my shy and introvert people skills and I am not a good party person.  I gravitate towards familiar people instead of meeting new people and trying to have a conversation with them.  I rather just sit back and listen!
