Good point, Toaster. I shall now shamelessly quote Jane Austen, because she rocks. From
Pride and Prejudice:
Quote:
"I certainly have not the talent which some people possess," said Darcy, "of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done."
"My fingers," said Elizabeth, "do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women's do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault - because I would not take the trouble of practising..."

Don't be like Mr. Darcy. Practise practise practise. I almost have to hurt myself to make conversation sometimes, because I find it scary or tedious or difficult, but I refuse to give up on something just because it doesn't come naturally to me. I'd be very limited in my activities then...
