this is my biggest struggle and it plays a huge part into my social anxiety     most of the time i shy away from entering conversation because i cant keep it going  when i do get into one my mind will just go blank and i give short answers for everything because i cant think of a proper response fast enough or remember anything relevant that i can add i feel like i come off as uninterested and rude or just some idiot and its super frustrating   reading this post and the replies was comforting now i know there are some people out there that can relate to this feeling
