Are you poor in interacting socially and work relationships out?

Yes, many of us face this kind of problem, when we are confornted with strangers. May be due to our inhibitions and so many unfounded apprehensions. I think, you need to take the initiative yourself, when you confront an unknown person, if you wish to communicate with him/her. You need to talk to him/her on any matter, and remember if you start first...it would increase your confidence and attitude. Please do not wait for others to take the initiatve. After starting the conversation, if you feel that the response is not good, you can always take an excuse and leave the scene. Be cheerful and always smile, before initiating a conversation with a stranger. who knows, if you keep your attitude, a stranger one day may become your closest friend.

You are not alone in this, so have faith! It is a problem yes, I have not much social etiquette that I always avoid social situations because I am NOT a social person, I don't want relationship and I enjoy my own company because I have got used to it. I prefer to be on my own. Perhaps consult with a good friend to see where you are going wrong if they are good friends they will be honest with you, but don't blame yourself.

Ya know its kinda odd with me...I'm not a ppl liker for the most part, general society just makes me angry/annoyed and I have low tolerance for the crap that comes with so many ppl out there (the self absorbed, greedy, uncompassionate, hurtful/hateful, holier than thou stuff etc)...I'm very much an Anti-Social person more often than not LOL and I really do love my solitude and being a loner BUT for some reason I interact very well with others....Whether its a social setting or a one on one type deal. People really seem to take to me LOL.. I think the best way for you to overcome it is basically to figure out what causes it? Is it low self esteem? Do you have trust issues? Take a good look at the last time (or next time) you are in that situation and think about WHAT you are feeling at that time...Are you worried about how the other person may recieve you? things like that

i have this problem too. when i am with someone who is not my close friend, i always dont know what shall we talk about, and i seldom speak to others actively. however, if i am with a voluble person, i can listen to he or she earnestly, and give some responses. i dont know how to be a extravert, as i am born to be a introvert. so i always avoid to be with other unfamiliar people.
