Sz makes talking difficult and listening as arduous. People tell me to prompt others to talk and to be a listener. I tend to be paranoid. I continually feel the need to butt in, to interject, to keep the balance of conversation. Talking is hard but so is listening.

Yeah it is but keep trying.
I have plenty of failures and I still do ok. You’ve got to be prepared to have conversations that aren’t that beneficial. I don’t think about either. I just converse. Back and forwards it’s just a natural game.
I can be paranoid sometimes but most times it’s just doing it! You gain you lose but it’s a worthy thing to be doing!
Keep trying! If something fails try something else!
I struggle with knowing what to say, so I say little.
As for listening, if it’s basic stuff I get it, but sometimes I always ask people to repeat themselves as I just do not understand.
It’s frustrating as I’d like to have other people in my life, but many just are not prepared to give people a chance.
I almost wish I could go back to school, as much as I’d hated it, and try to make friends with some nicer people as I used to hang out with the worst types of people.
I see my stepdad is still friend with these types of people, and I think having time on your side makes things easier if you’re talking and listening to people.
When you have no history with people things are made massively more difficult and engaging is hard.

Whenever i engage with people i tend to let them do most of the talking. I think i am a good listener for the most part, although sometimes i lose track of what’s being said or get confused and have to ask them to backtrack and repeat themselves. I don’t tend to talk as much. I just never really feel i have much to add to the conversation.

Listening to people
Difficulty - just don’t listen good
I have alogia. No ideas, no words
Talking is much tougher for me. People tell me I’m a good listener. Well I wasn’t in school but I am 1 v 1. Talking is difficult.

What you say? Don’t get. You say tougher or something?
HAHA, listening without talking!
Talking is harder because then I have to think of what to say. Listening you just take it in

Much harder for me to talk, thinking of what to say is difficult
Conversation for me is OK. What’s more difficult is reading from the lectern in church, when everybody out there is listening. True, the words are right in front of me, no need to speak off the cuff. Still, I get stage fright. It’s easier for me even to sing in front of people than use my speaking voice. But I guess the challenge makes being lector worth it.
to truly listen is the easiest yet hardest thing to do. Its so simple, yet because we don’t let go we find it difficult to listen
Talking face to face makes my mind feel strange. When I have something to add to a talk, I wait for everyone to stop speaking, don’t want to interrupt, and eventually the conversation changes topics, without me saying anything. Adding what I want to
Talking is harder for me. I have always been a good listner. I have just never been one for small talk.
