Why is it so hard to hold a conversation lately?

Is it negatives? I just find I have no words to say despite wanting to talk to people

I find I talk a LOT less these past several years as well. I just don’t feel as much need to talk anymore as I used to years ago.

I think i most likely have a bit of it. I struggle a lot with conversation face to face. Especially in groups of people or with a lot of stuff going on at the same time, like backgeound noise and the like.

I speak better and am more eloquent via text and email. In person , I’m all stuck for words and usually just agree and nod lol

Im not great at handling the public in person. With the exception of my psych nurse, but it took me a good few months to get used to him
