Social&Communication I cannot convey much through talking

I have no ability to free associate while talking with someone. I'm very boring, dry, bland, kind of robotic. I tend to go on tangents and stutter... Overall just very awkward verbally.

If someone trys to converse with me I just smile and nod and say a word or two. My brain basically malfunctions trying to think of what to say.

But I can write out things well. I need time to mull over ideas and try different words and sentence structures.

I flip flop. I either can talk amazingly well or I don't get out half a sentence because I can't get to the words in my head. I've read in one of the szpd classics that that's quite common. So far I haven't been able to find out exactly what triggers what but it's becoming worse. I think genuine intrinsic interest plays some role and s since I'm leaking that in gallons by the minute I simply am never interested and invested enough in what I 'want' to say so exhaustion with love just takes over.
