It depends who I am talking to. If it’s just one or two people I am at least fairly comfortable around, I am a talker. Groups, though, not so much. The less I know the people, the less I talk.
I think you have a lot of potential
I find I always have lots to say, but my anxiety makes me mute. It kills me too, knowing I can contribute to a conversation, even something I’m very knowledgeable in, and still be unable to speak.
When I do speak up, people cut me off or ignore me. I hate that feeling so much that now I rarely speak up in a group.
I’m way more vocal on here then in person. Well it depends who I’m talking to
PEOPLE DO THAT TO ME ALL THE TIME! omg so frustrating!!! ![]()
When I was at the Clubhouse I couldn’t manage to start a conversation.
I felt socially awkward.
i try and think of things to say, i look for information that i think other people might find interesting and its gives me something to talk about 
Tend to have nothing to say when around people. I get all nervous and clam up. I also feel nervous around people I know…what do I tell them what I’m doing right now? Or how much of what should I respond when they ask how I’m doing? Best bet say nothing…at least they can’t hold your words against you. Yet they can also think you may be stuck up or judge you on the fact that you don’t speak. I don’t know which is better.
I have a hard time thinking of things to say around people. I can only speak well in structured situations.
I can talk some in safe, polite situations. I can’t start a conversation cold though.
Small talk is about all I can manage besides you can learn much more about people by just listening. I’m an Elorean. We listen.
