I think part of my issue lies in my interest for what people talk about. Filler conversation and fake interest feels gross and unnatural. I can’t just lie and pretend I have anything of value to add, and coming up with fake things to talk about is hard to me. I don’t even know if it’s a neurodivergent thing because I’m surrounded by others with autism and other ND diagnoses and they seem to do it naturally and flawlessly, better than I ever could. I don’t know how to deal with this or fix it
