    Thank you for your reply. You are right, my nervousness and stumbling are due to self-conscious fear of rejection. The fact that I even make the effort to talk to people is growth for me. However, after any type of verbal communication with people I analyze and nit-pick every word until I am totally defeated. I know this is my issue and that I am way to self absorbed but I also feel that people can feel my fear. I understand the concept of “faking it to make it” or “practice makes perfect” but in the meantime don’t people still feel my fear?

    Yes, I understand most of the principles of effective communication except emotional mirroring. Can you explain that?

    I can also relate to the “conditions” you discuss that affect good communication. For example when I try to engage in a conversation with someone I’ve just met I am nervous and uncomfortable and I start stumbling over my words. I know sometimes people just lose interest. How can I resolve the conflict between my emotional state and my words or actions?
