And have nothing interesting to say. It’s hard.

Yes when I was around 13-14 and my first major depressive episode caused me to lose my ability to make conversation entirely I became very grateful for people who talked a lot. Even today with my social skills mostly restored. I am grateful for those people who can just talk and talk. I prefer to be a listener who makes occasional commentary than to be the main talker. It made therapy very difficult and awkward for me starting out that’s for sure! Lol!
So yes my advice would be to find people who need someone to listen to them for friends, rather than finding someone who expects you to entertain them with lively conversation.

I’m quite a good listener. If spoken to I’ll reply as best I can. I try not to be rude. Sometimes though it easier to think of replies than others.

I don’t have many friends but every now and then i will have coffee with a friend. I find that i have very little to actually talk about but i’m a good listener. Luckily my friend has a lot going on and does most of the talking. I say things here and there and it all seems to work out.
