So I already struggle to socialize with people, however the people I socialize often, being my closest friends and family, I notice I just end up adding in worthless stuff to the conversation. Apparently this is something called idle chatter and also called persiflage. People tend not to respond to my idle chatter, which makes sense, however I tend to be craving for a response or reaction to what I said and if I don’t get that it just makes me feel like I said something wrong and I can’t stop thinking about the fact I said that. This seems to happen a lot and I don’t know how to stop it or just do it less. I try to think about what I’m saying but a lot of times my brain is like “Yeah this seems like a good thing to add to the discussion.” When really it’s not and just makes me feel worse about myself because I can’t even talk properly to my own friends. Just wish I had an undo button in real life. Any advice?
