The kind where if you have to be around people you feel more comfortable in a group than with just one other person?
I get nervous around “dead air” if I’m with people so if I’m the only other person I feel pressure to be interesting and it’s exhausting. If there’s a group of people it’s not so bad because it divides the responsibility of being entertaining around all of us so I don’t have to worry if I’m boring. I can just chill and let other people talk.
Plus I find I’m better at bouncing off of others than initiating conversation.
:yea:
How do people have one on one conversations without running out of things to talk about
How do you run out of things to talk about? You don’t have a mental encyclopedia of weird animal facts to fall back on like how penguins practice prostitution for the shiny stones they use to make their nests?
I could talk about how there’s a species of jumping spider than spends hours planning their ambushes, even going well out of line of sight of their prey, because they hunt other jumping spiders and evolved to outsmart them, or the fun fact that there is a very very low but non-zero chance that someone peeing in a swimming pool can cause an explosion, but people usually don’t take to those
there is a very very low but non-zero chance that someone peeing in a swimming pool
Please elaborate on this.
