I have nothing to talk about

In conversation i fall flat because i genuinely dont know what to say. It feels like talking about anything is either pointless or ive told the story a million times, i got nothit new going on besides the move and there isnt a lot to say about that.

I have nothing to say and i want people to like me. I just sont want to have to talk so much. People want so much communication.

I try that it does work, sometimes i have trouble thinking of questions and long monologues hurt my brain badly

Ive felt the same for a long long time.

I am so quiet in person that I unnerve people. I work around it by having memorized a large list of varied questions I can ask. When they’re talking they don’t notice how I’m taciturn to the point of muteness so much.

I’m very quiet except in family gatherings…my wife thinks I don’t care to talk to her because I’m always just listening to what she says. I say "I love you’ a lot to her just to let her know…and then I’ll say something..like “a lot…to the moon.”

My days are very samey . A lot of internet + watching some TV. I’ve recently added colouring in as a get relaxed and ready for sleep thing. I can come over as quite abrupt, but I genuinely struggle when asked what I’ve been doing to say something new. Unless it’s with family, I’ll almost never take the initiative when it comes to talking to other people.

Online it’s a bit better, but I don’t do much in the way of hobbies/interests a lot of people like. I know I probably pee some people off, with all the intelligence tests stuff. I don’t know about genealogy. Whether talking about that is more acceptable. I’m very into the P that’s a taboo subject here. It’s frustrating, but I accept why it’s a taboo subject.

@Moon I can relate to the “poverty of speech”
I tend to be curt and brief in my remarks and if I even get involved in a conversation then I let everyone else do the talking.

Don’t feel down about it. Think of it as a sign of maturity or wisdom :wink:
