I don't know why I feel confident when I talk one on one, but when I am in a group or more than 3 people I feel awkward?

When i talk with person one on one i feel confident, but when i am with 3-4 or more people i feel weird, awkward and shy or not know how to communicate. I don't know how to change it and why i feel this way even with people i know.

I am the same exact way. I just can’t think of what to say to contribute to the conversation that’s interesting or funny. I also have a hard time with timing. During 1on 1s I never cut the person off, but in groups people usually will cut each other off because that’s the only way to be able to be a part of the conversation, but there’s a very fine line between it being a good time and it being obnoxious which I’m not good with. I don’t think I’ll ever change but I’ve just learned to accept it and I avoid putting myself in those conversations or say that I have to leave at a certain time. I’ll usually say something like I have a date and people understand

Competition?
