For me in general I guess its again, those closed quarters and cramped type social interactions when you don't get to see them coming from a ways away, when you have to react sharp and quick, and when you don't have a rapport with em but feel partial obligation to acknowledge em and yet that nagging "But I don't know them well enough" - pulling a crisp response out of that one just doesn't seem plausible.
That's a situation where, in addition to what you wrote, I also have to be careful of my facial expressions. Apparently I tend to get a classic look that loudly says "Who are you, and why are you talking to me???" - certainly not the kind of message I wanna be sending in most cases. You know how those lovely messed up nonverbals can be... I haven't figured out how to keep them under control yet.

If I have time and opportunity to actually work with someone and have a steady stream of communication we're straight and I can be pretty close to NT at that rate.
Even in those situations I don't talk enough, very rarely initiate conversation, but usually I'm happy to talk if the other person initiates (passive subtype)... Depending on the person too of course - some people I talk to a lot more than others (especially if I've had a good dose of coffee).
