I’m really kind of quiet

In groups or social situations, I really don’t have much to say to others.
When others are talking to me I usually just sit there and nod in approval or respond with a “yes” or “no”.

I noticed that it’s getting worse as I age.

Anyone else like this?

Depends on the subject. If its about work I dont talk. If its about weather, news, restaurants, technology, video games, I talk.

I wish I could socialize like most normies do.

Laughing, openly conversing etc…

At my cousins engagement party I was proud of myself for not isolating myself but I was far from being sociable.

People came over to our table and started talking to us.

I mainly listened but at least I didn’t cower away.

I also ate delicious foods there in front of others which I rarely do.

Overall it was a good day for me.

I can’t talk a lot. I’ve always been like that.

Well depending on who it is, I can make small talk but briefly.

Nothing in depth.

@Wave I rarely am the one talking. I love being with people that talk a lot and can carry the conversation. I just internalize everything. It’s all going on inside my head, it doesn’t make it past my lips. My sister talks an talks and so does my ex and I’m very comfortable with them. And with my ex if no one is talking it doesn’t get awkward. With my sister I wouldn’t know because she never stops, lol.

I’m like this, sometimes, but it completely depends on my mood. If I’m feeling down, I tend to be extremely quiet. If I’m neutral mood, I talk a little bit, but still mostly quiet - I let other people do the talking. If I’m manic, I don’t shut up. I just talk, and talk, and talk.

For me it’s difficulty initiating conversation , and knowing when to speak or to listen. When I do speak within a group of people the response is usually like I’ve said nothing.

I can talk pretty openly with my folks, sister, and grandpa, but other than that – I have trouble with other normies. I can put on a front for about 10 minutes, then I start planning my escape lol

I figure no one wants to hear what I have to say, so I talk a lot less than I used to
