Me too. For me, it's a combination of things. Like you said, struggling to know what to say. But also, I isolate so much, and have lost touch with pop culture and stuff, I can't carry on simple conversations about things like that anymore. Instead of it bothering me and encouraging me to watch more news and Netflix, it just makes me avoid people more.
