I’m not going to tell you whether you should or shouldn’t. Thats your choice.
But if you do, maybe plan out some of your conversation topics and what your going to say. Maybe write it down and rehearse it a bit. Then when you are drawing a blank, you have some things that you might fall back on. I don’t know. I know its not very spontaneous but maybe it would give you a few bright spots in conversation. This is just something off the top of my head that you could try.
