 Does anyone else have a problem communicating with others. I can have full conversations in my head. I can write things out well and get my point across, but I can not have conversations with people. I just have nothing to say. Or maybe it is that I do not know how to say what I want. We have a potluck once a month at my church and when I am sitting across form someone it is hard to have a conversation. I do not like talking to others and I wondered if any one had this same problem?

I have felt like this before. I have entire conversations with my friends and acquaintances in my head but when it comes to the real thing I struggle. I've improved with practice and more self confidence. Before, I even felt like I couldn't contribute to conversations because I either didn't know what my opinions were, or I felt like I had no opinion.
The thing that changed for me was coming out as transgender. Suddenly I was living as the real genuine me and I found I could relate to people better. I also switched my major in university to theatre and met all kinds of people both louder and weirder than me. I really feel at home with these people and find that I DO have opinions, I just needed to become more comfortable with myself to be able to give myself permission to have an opinion.

Me I can write all day but it's like my mouth is to tired to talk. So I hang out with people that are very talkative.

I am ok with carrying conversations, but I always say the wrong words that meant to say or change the topic so fast that its just kinda hard (ex: I started a conversation about swimming strokes, ended with what Michael Jackson took that killed him) i also don't enjoy being around others or talking much anyways. I have the same prob as you.

I can have conversations with friends and family I just tend to ramble, but acquaintances or anyone else it's pretty difficult. I'm really bad for the conversations in my head thing. If I see people I know who aren't within my immediate friend circle my first reaction is to avoid them as I don't like speaking to people even if I'm really lonely at the time.

Yes all the time Its like I am at a loss for words,I can't communicate the way I want I can come up with brilliant things to say in my head and on paper but when it comes to say them I can't do it out loud.It gets so frustrating at times.

It's also hard for me to make the correct facial expressions and eye contact,during a conversation.
So I try to avoid being in a conversation unless I actually need to be. |

I'm having huge problems with communication right now. I think everyone can hear my thoughts (it is reinforced through synchronicity) and so I have been finding conversation to be meaningless. I just stay in my house.
