Hi everyone.

I am having a big problem with mental barriers at least that's how I would label them. Here are some examples of what I mean.

A. I am still learning to drive. On a driving lesson I would drive to a roundabout and even when it is clear to go I just won't go. It is like I don't trust myself.

B. I am very quiet but I want to make the effort to be more talkative. Sometimes I try to say hello to people before they may say hello to me but for some reason it just like the words don't come out and I usually bottle out at the last minute.

I don't know if mental barriers is how anyone else would label them but it seemed most appropriate to me.

Can anyone suggest any way(s) in which I can overcome this "mental barrier"?

On another note can I just also ask.

Would it seem weird if the quietest person you knew started to become more talkative? and how would you react?
