Too many times, I find myself struggling to further a conversation. People will be telling me how their day went, things about their life... And I'll just draw a blank. So I'll end up giving short, simple, basic responses that I've learned are appropriate and that makes me seem quite disinterested and boring to other people. Sometimes I'll just smile and nod. I find it's easier online because I have more time to think, whereas in a face to face conversation, I only have so much time to respond before the person leaves or moves to a different topic.

Other times, I have an idea of what I want to say, but have a difficult time verbalizing it. This tends to be the cause of my anxiety rather than an extension of it.
