if we are very good friends, and i know i can say most thoughts, i talk pretty freely. if we are acquaintances, i find it uncomfortable. also, my state of mind matters a lot. i find sometimes it is physically uncomfortable to even talk, whilst other times with my friends i cannot stop talking.
That describes me perfectly too.
I also have APD Decoding Deficit which makes me bad at hearing when theres noise around or other people speaking so i dont tend to add anything to group conversations.
I trip on words a little bit (i make more 'spoonerisms' than most people). I think its cos i have difficulty thinking and speaking at the same time. I can know what i want to say but have trouble finding the right words to fill in the gaps. Its not too serious but sometimes stops me from talking out of fear. There might be other APD issues hanging around causing that one. I suspect it MAY be an ingrained behaviour after i was diagnosed with AS i became self conscious of using words that were too advanced and grownup sounding and would pause and put something too simple there instead. Unfortunately now that i talk to other adults and can use these words i dont know any of em anymore!
When Im depressed i tend to talk only about myself, and i only talk about myself to my parents. Sometimes it can be a problem but not all the time. eg. I ran into one of my friends in town the other day and after I finished speaking with her I realised that i hadnt talked about myself at all!
So it can depend on if the other person wants to talk about me or themselves.
