Im feeling stressed out about this. My boyfriend really wants me to be more talkative and social. I do have some social anxiety but honestly I’ve gotten a lot better recently, but Im still stuck on just trying to make a good conversation. In text I do pretty good but in voice Im always going silent and it makes him really uncomfortable. Its just the way I see talking its like a transaction, they say something and I say something back. Its usually simple and I don’t go further, I feel like I cant go further. My mind goes blank and I have nothing else to say. If I push I panic. I tell him this but he thinks that we can work past this, and I DO want to work past this. I should be able to lead a conversation without breaking down into a nervous wreck.
We are trying everything, we have books for social skills and more resources and we are trying to practice but I still feel stuck. Im not shy around him, I feel comfortable I just dont say a lot. This has gotten to the point where its hurting our bonding. Im doing everything I can to help myself. Im trying to see a therapist but its going to take some time. Ugh, I just dont know. I need advice, I love him a lot and I just want to grow our bond.
