I totally understand wanting to talk but just not being able to. I posted a while ago about how when there's silence I find it so hard to just get my voice out. I have x that I want to say I just can't.

Maybe you could try telling her that.

I think maybe it wasn't that she was bored. I think she felt that you were trying to talk and you wanted to so she was leaving space for you. I know I would find it impossible to interrupt T so if she only has short answers there's more room for you to talk if you get through the battle inside yourself.
