Hey guys. This is something I’ve noticed within the last year or so that I struggle with speaking overall, but primarily feeling like I have zero thoughts going on once I’m in a social situation. I have been diagnosed with autism, and am unsure if this is maybe regression due to diagnosis but also by not being in a social environment? I also have ADD and realized I speak more whenever I am medicated. I have recently moved, and while I have made a lot of friends, I find myself stuck in conversation as I cannot think of anything to discuss and hope the other person carries the conversation. I find that this is something that I also struggle with while I’m writing, as well.
I was unsure how others who struggle with this feeling, how should I approach it and try to “fix it” and just wanting to hear others experiences overall with this feeling. A goal of mine is to read more and write down my thoughts more to see if that helps. I want to try to practice having conversations, but I feel like I can’t practice if I don’t have anything to say. Aaaaah!
