Like really badly. I can’t even be in a three-party conversation without going silent. If I do talk, it’s because someone has asked me something or spoke to me. It puts me in a very bad mood when I am in any group conversation because I spend the whole time silent, bored and staring into space or staring at my phone.
I’ve always been known as quiet from a child up to now. When I did try to apply some skills like joining someones conversation or speaking up in groups and I’ve just been ignored or someone will politely answer but it seemed like I just intruded on their conversation and they didn’t really want to talk to me. These situations made me feel very insecure and self conscious and since then I’ve been pretty much mute whenever there is one or more people added to the conversation.

It seems like you’re in the wrong groups. People who matter will always give you a chance to speak.
