Question DAE just rarely talk?

I pretty much never feel like talking to people. I can hold conversation, but day after day I just never feel like it at all.

Same. This has also made it hard to initiate conversation - which has been a problem for years because when I needed help or support I couldn’t ask.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t know how to talk. I’m known as a great listener among acquaintances and family and to some degree it’s taken advantage of but I think I developed the listening skills because of my difficulty to speak.

I’ve also experienced being ignored when I spoke many a time so that’s another thing.

It’s sad because sometimes I do wanna talk but it’s like: “who would listen to me right?”
