not being able to physically speak in some situations

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think not being able to physically speak is inherently such a bad thing

But I think the real problem is that self righteous judgemental extroverts have the nerve to just assume that when I don't talk it proves that I don't speak English and when I do talk those idiots have the nerve to half listen and grunt "huh" and "what" like they are the etiquette equivalent of "excuse me"

and sometimes i just don't wanna talk.

too lazy to

talk, think, feel, do

This situation normally happens to me when I'm nervous. When I'm not nervous, I can speak fine.

I'm prone to mild selective mutism at times, I want to speak, but the words won't come out. So I internally panic instead. Sometimes I simply can't think of anything try as I might. Part of it is nerves but a large part of it is the spontaneous nature of off the cuff conversations. I can't keep up. But I find this happens to me a lot less often than when I was young.
