I tend to get tired and have lesser to say when around people.I remember two years ago while at a meetup with my social anxiety friends,in a group I was in the flow and had a lot to say.Now I just never get into the conversation flow,I am upset about this.
I hope my social skill can improve and I can talk more around people,hopefully

I can do small talk but i struggle past that point. One of my alters is a social butterfly though.

I think it depends on the situation. If someone doesn’t know me, I usually have plenty to say because I’ll ask them questions about themselves and try to relate to them. If they know me, I tend to be quieter because nothing happens in my daily life, so I don’t have much to update people on. No work stories, no gossip to share from girlfriends.

The only people I really talk to any more are my family who help me survive with no job. I have and always will love them more than life itself.

I can talk to close family and I can manage at work because I have something to talk about. Outside that I am not worth talking to as I cannot keep a convo going

I have so much to say and discuss.
Recently I am preferring my loneliness though. I am enjoying doing things by myself without anybody involved. I love the freedom I have.
If you do some new things, you’ll have plenty to say. Also read the newspaper.

I wish I had more to say and it drives me mad that I can’t say more.
But I’m just a spirit in a human form that is why

Even when I have a lot to say I’m usually too nervous to actually say it. I’m always afraid I’m wrong about one thing or another. Sz has made me not able to trust myself, and therefore my memory.

In terms of initiating conversations- no. If people talk to me first it very much depends on the subject , and how well I feel able to think of something to say at the time.

Depends on the topic and the people. If it’s strangers, I usually never say anything. Friends, I won’t shut up. But I spend a lot of time talking in my head to other people, so that makes up for it.

I am okay with deep conversation, I hate small talk. I struggle with it. When I am unwell I become monosyllabic yes no in right places but quiet otherwise, when I am well I can talk but struggle with format of conversation when to start and stop, how much info is expected from me, I fimd it really hard to lie.

I don’t talk alot and it’s constantly frustrating to me
I used to be a chatterbox as a teenager, with the right people. So I guess you could say I was shy at first. I could talk both small talk and deep/meaningful stuff. The illness and medication has destroyed that part of my personality and now I barely talk, even with friends.
I also suffer from poverty of thought, which I think is more because of the medication. So now I come across as aloof. I also get frustrated with this.

I’ve found the older you get, the harder it is to get people to understanding/accept that your socially retarded. It’s a struggle of its own

I honestly cant tell if I just have nothing to say or I just don’t want to talk to some people. I have like one friend I talk to, but honestly I think I’m just in a awkward phase of my life; nothing bad has happened to me, its more about doing things my way then conforming to how other people think you’re suppose to be. Also I understand that it’s not just me , other people want to make a good impression too, but you don’t need other people to like you to live good. A good book and having perspective seems pretty good to me.
