I tend to overanalyze either other people or myself. I could definitely use some motivation (ie kick in the ass) when it comes to advice on communicating with people I'm not sure I have common ground with.

I enjoy spending time with my friends though lately it hasn't really happened. In the last two weeks I spent about 3 hours with a friend, playing tennis and getting a bit to eat, that's it. All my other friends were busy doing other things. I've tried to meet others on the net, but with no success. I message them and get no response back generally. In a crowd of 200 people I could easily not say a word to any of them. My job involves talking to people all the time though face to face, which is weird.. Advice?
