I always feel that people around me think in a much deeper manner when it comes to others. As if I was incapable of grasping the intricacies of social interaction. The reason I say this is because I don't feel like I really know the majority of the people around me. It takes me much longer to get to know someone than it takes others. And the conversations I have with many of the people that I know, don't really provide me with any detailed understanding of who they are. I just don't know what questions to ask to really get to know them.
With certain people, there just comes a time after talking with them a when I just run out of things to say or ask and them and I are faced with what some call "awkward silence." This comes to happen very early when I am talking to some, and it really doesn't help my cause to understanding them more. Though I really don't find the silence to be very awkward, others seem to see it that way. So lengthening my conversations is one of the things I have been attempting to accomplish. Comparing myself to my earlier selves, I've improved, and I intend on improving even more.

You're a lot more socially confident now than freshman year. On a side note, I think everyone has those awkward moments, I kind of like them. I think what you do with those moments is what makes the difference in friendships.
