At least there is the internet for people like you and me lol! I can talk to anyone over the internet about anything, put me in front of someone and I go mute. x3
I don't WANT to be like that, I want to make lots of friends, have conversations with strangers, but I just go so blank minded around people. :(
I hope it will help him a little, if not, I guess he will just have to spend a lot of time around people other than me and get used to it eventually! Or maybe that is just how he will be and it can't be helped, like you and me.
