Does anyone struggle in keeping up with conversations in large groups of people? I was with my friends, some I’m close and some I’m an acquiantance with (six of us altogether). They were chatting and I was merely reacting and watching most of the time. Conversation would carry on and my mind would literally be blank because I’m just hearing what people say but I cannot think of what to say or add because other people would add things and then it changes quickly. And I know that’s okay because that is how a conversation works. One of them mentions that I was being quiet, out of worry most likely because I can be talkative in smaller groups, and I said I was okay because I was. I do get this phrase a few times over my life but it wasn’t something that I thought heavily enough because I struggled with communicating to others in general before. I have become good at talking to individuals and smaller groups but I struggle a lot in groups of maybe four or more people. Does anyone have any tips for this?
