hi this is not about me being mute or disabled or literally anything that physically limits me from being able to talk it’s PURELY about me not being able to come up with words to say to people. trying to make small talk with me is like talking to a rock i can’t come up with responses to anything and i’ve had this problem for like three years
it comes and goes and last year it was rarely there but recently it’s like all words escape me when i talk to someone — i think it’s because i want to be liked and funny and everything all the time and im so worried about my tone and my reputation that i just default to saying nothing?? ive been so confused for so long and i need to know if other people feel this way and if i can have solace in knowing that others feel the frustration i do because i don’t understand how easy it is for everyone else to be so witty and talk all the time and even BE COMFORTABLE IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS i don’t know ok? Ok. this is really messy and it’s because no words are coming to me right now it feels like im just drooling living on autopilot half of the time and can’t come up with anything intellectual to say
please tell me if anyone else feels like this or if there is a solution anyone has found, i hate going to reddit with these type of things but ive been to therapy and talked to genuinely everyone i know about this and have gotten no answers
