Can you pinpoint certain things that make you just go silent and not respond. And things that you can respond to and talk about like the weather pr something?

Have you heard of selective mutism? People thought I couldn’t talk because of it.

I used to have really bad social anxiety and found it hard to talk to people. I then would catastrophize about what I said thinking it make me look dumb.

I also have this problem in certain situations. Mostly in situations where people are talking about life in their lives in their homes and families and children jobs and things I really don’t have.The biggest problem I have is when somebody asked me so what do you do.

I have a similar thing. I cant speak for more than a sentence or maybe 2 at a time. And i usually need a few moments to put my thoughts together before i speak otherwise it will come out as gibberish. Causes heaps of social anxiety.

Same here. Sometimes i would not know what to talk. I feel like I am running out of topics. I would be dumbstruck. Hardest thing is to be on point.
