Does anyone else hate speaking?

Post Reply New Topic

I strongly dislike conversations. When people try to converse with me, it hurts. Sometimes I talk to be polite but I would prefer if people just didn't expect me to say anything.

Texting and forums are ok I guess, but I don't like long emails / PMs.

Is anyone else like this?

Fundamentally, why am I like this?

You already made a thread. Here it is:

Wait a moment, how on earth did I make two threads?!

At times I do, but not always. At times I like speaking when I'm with someone I care about, but other times it just feels like it's too much of an effort to me and I don't want to talk.

Yes

Talking is really difficult for me and i usually go mute around ppl i don't know real well.
or if I am upset my speaking gets all gabled and tongue tied - what's been called gibberish.

But I just started doing forums 4 months ago when I turned 13... and wow. I am on two big teen
forums and have put in around 6000 posts between them. I have really fit in and been accepted
and given tons of likes and positive reputation points. So for the first time in my life I have been
able to interact this way and be like one of the cool kids. one of the things i am most respected
for is the advice i offer, even tho it sounds weak to me. so yeah forums have been great.

But when it comes to back and forth talking by text, I am still not very good at it. I just do
not know how to keep a conversation going and i'm scared to death of the chat rooms still.
I just had a bad PM session with a kid who said he was AS but got all upset with me for not
responding right or w/e. so i don't know. i guess i will keep trying. but so far i hate it.

oops
