I have trouble expressing myself in most situations. I do better with writing but I really dont know what to do or how to do it when it comes to talking to people? What are some practices I can do to improve my communication skills?
one trick when someone says something to you and you don't have an answer immediately is to mirror back the comment/question they just said. your girlfriend says, "you never care about my feelings" you say back to her, "you think i never care about your feelings?" this gives you a minute to think about what to say, then you can say, "of course i think about your feelings, how could i show that to you better?". this mirroring technique works in almost all situations. your boss says, "can you stay late on thursday night?" you say, "stay late on thursday night?" "sure," or "no i'm sorry i really can't, how about wednesday?"
try this out. it works.

It is quite simple.
Stand in front of the mirror.
Step 1: Start talking with yourself, no I am not kidding. Practice it and and it will work.
Step 2: Try to get a friend. It will be very difficult, but you got to try. If you get one talk to him or her openly. If you don't get one then find some pet or some inanimate object to talk to(knowing full well that it won't respond).
Step 3: Now start talking to the sky, the tress, congratulate the flowers when they bloom, wish the moon when it's full. Fill yourself with open energy.
Step 4: Go out and try for a date. It may/will fail but don't give up. Keep going , one day you will find someone to share your everything.
Step 4: With all the previous 3 steps you should be more confident. Now relax, breathe deep, and go and have a talk with your neighbors, people preferably close to your age. Once you start it becomes easy. So feel free and talk, all rubbish you can, who cares, you have got freedom of speech. After talking come back and think, you did it.
Step 5: Follow step 4 as many times you can(at least 20) and by this time you are bound to have some people who know you and you will find some friend from them as well. You might be cheated, make mistakes, but learn from them and one day, amidst a party among your friends, you will realize the problem is gone.

You will have to put yourself out there. Get into situations where you are forced to talk to people. The best thing that has helped me is getting a job where I am in continuous contact with people. When I was 16 I got a job at Wendy's and I had to talk to the customers. It was extremely helpful. Now I can freely talk and not have a problem. Of course, you probably don't want to get a job at Wendy's but you can volunteer somewhere where there are lots of people.
