Is Natural Conversation Fictional?

It seems these days as though my efforts to comfortably converse with my peers and elders are in vain. Natural conversation just doesn't come, well, naturally to me. Is easy discussion about everyday things an illusion? Is casual chatting fictional? In my experience, it seems to be.... there is always at least a hint of strain or anxiety or euphemistic phrases. The real question, however, is: Who's fault is it? Mine? Theirs? The entire human race's? As with all semi-problems, the fault most probably lies within my own self. Is it because I am uncomfortable with myself? I don't think so. But is that just an unnatural reassurance, a lie, that I am telling myself? Hmmm....

But I would have to say that yes, with some it is inevitable natural conversation wil take more effort (hence NOT being entirely natural) but with many - and especially with a select few - conversation can move as smoothly and swiftly and enjoyably as well-oiled wheels. sweet. in tandum.
