Confidence is Key

To the Hive,
I am having a hard time speaking to people in general. I usually get stuck on words and have noticed in some of my work meetings a causal friend hangouts that I don't hold people's attention well. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
                                                                                                                                                                                        - Mr. Unpopular

To Mr. Unpopular,
You are not unpopular, although it sounds like you may just have a hard time public speaking. There are several techniques to hold an audience's attention, whether that be at your work or with your friends. You might look to some resources such as Susan RoAne's How to Work a Room: The Ultimate Guide to Savvy Socializing in Person and Online or How to Talk to Anyone About Anything: Improve Your Social Skills, Master Small Talk, Connect Effortlessly, and Make Real Friends by James W. Williams.
