Saying a word in a silence does not always start a conversation...

I dislike starting conversations, I suppose because to initiate subsequently means the other[s] haven't, from which I'd interpret that they don't want to talk and I'd want to avoid the uncomfortable situation of saying something which would be responded to without interest or some other cold reaction.

Sometimes it seems like I'm too occupied mentally. People want to discuss about the weather and their day and I'm not really interested. However I like to have whimsical convos but many people see those as too weird. So people have said I'm a good conversationalist when I'm on and not too much out there.

I've been in that situation many times.
