Feel help: sometimes,when i’m around other people,ijust sit there and don’t say anything. - Help.com

I do that as well. Like I feel detatched from the entire conversation and the world in general. I get so sick of small talk sometimes and unless i’m feeling particularly inspired to come up with something interesting to say, I’ll just sit there and stare into space.

I know the feeling all to well. I’m exactly the same. Just don’t let it bother ya.

Like everyone’s said so far, there’s nothing wrong with being a quiet or introverted person. However, if you’re looking for advice on how to not be so quiet or introverted, the best thing to do is ask someone a question about themselves. I know it seems to be common sense, or even cliche, but really everyone’s favorite subject is themselves. Give people the opportunity to talk about themselves and it not only takes the spotlight off you, but you might actually find things you have in common and you’ll be able to continue the conversation.

Small talk is a rather superficial thing, and it really is just kind of dumb if you stop and think about it… But it is the first step we all take to getting to know someone else.

Mlk is right, most people will respond to that with open arms. Conversation it needs a flow to it.. so when you talk with someone, you can find things that can be elaborated on or compared to something else, it is all about throwing in the right questions and words at the right times, if someone says… I went to the grand canyon this summer, you ask how they liked it.. that can spread to ask whether they are afraid of heights, lol, etc etc… like a chain… there are all these links that you can connect to, just have to grab them and go with it.

But everyone likes their quiet time, so don’t feel like you are strange or anything, just relax, be yourself, you will get through it.
