Is anyone experiencing this? No matter here or in reality, I often say things that are out of tune, or simply saying nothing at all. And another weird thing is, why do I prefer topics that will stimulate my brain rather than daily life topics of discussion. Any thoughts?
I had the pverty of speech before. It’s due to the side effects of antipsychotics because my brain can 't think quickly or catch up with what other people said. I read news a lot which stimulates my brain. So I have more to say now when I meet people.

There were times during my negative flatness where I just didn’t have the energy to keep up with a conversation.
Words of others just washed over me and didn’t really make much sense so I stayed in my head and kept quiet. It was hard to keep on topic and keep up with others.
Many times I just didn’t know what to say. I felt I had nothing to add to a conversation.
I’ve had this happen when I was on high doses of Seroquel and other times when it was part of the negative symptom.
Keeping physically active helps me think. When I have a hard time concentrating… a quick walk… a bit of a stretch helps.
Good luck
