I have the same issues. I feel like I’m blank. There is nothing in my mind. I try to think of things to say but nothing comes out.

I feel like I have poverty of speech too. I’m always thinking about things but never know what to say to anyone.

For me it’s a disconnect between my brain and mouth.

I just Got a :heart: so I think that I May contribute.
I just want to say that only talking little is much better than talking far too much. Lucky the person who only talk little.
And the reason I say this is that I talk by far to much. Yes there are days I wish I could keep quiet.
Talking to much is the way to disaster.
I hope someday that I’ve learned that from all of you to keep quiet.

I hated the time when I tried to think of things but my thoughts didn’t develop. As if nothing new came up after a first few thoughts coupled with the fact that I’d often forget what I was thinking of, maybe because I had ■■■■ attention. Also felt like my memory didn’t work picking up the important elements of things I watched or read, so I couldn’t think keep anything in mind to elaborate on a subject on my head.

Then I’d just keep quiet because I didn’t have much to say. Is it like that for you?

I get this sometimes. I usually just cringe internally when there’s a long ass silence because I can’t make myself talk.

Happens a lot in social gatherings and in therapy.
