I sort of have a theory and was wondering what everyone else thought.

I am terrible at communication. I can't seem to talk about anything serious with people and also have to analyze what people say to see if they are joking, serious, or being sarcastic. I think people are born with the ability to communicate, but we also improve on this skill as we grow up. I personally think my natural ability for communication is not very good. I'm very good at math and physics and find doing these things well comes naturally for me. But just like some people are not the greatest in math no matter how much schooling they have, I feel like I am that same way with communication. No matter how hard I try I have a very hard time understanding people. I don't have a problem making friends, but social situations stress me out very much. The anxiety causes me to keep to myself a lot, but most of the time I prefer some loneliness over the confusion of talking to people.

I wonder whether I just am not good at communication and need to accept it. I have improved, but perhaps I have hit a plateau and just will not improve anymore.
