Do you ever run out with things to say with your friend?

Sometimes I feel like I have some friends I don't feel close with and I struggle to talk with them after a certain amount of time.

It happens, I’m more an introvert and listener than a great talker so if there’s nothing particular to say I don’t take too much initiative to talk. This happens with everyone, I prefer in general to be the one listening and giving my opinion or advices on things, this is probably one of my faults so I result as a boring person… but I know my friends accept me for what I am and they are fine with that. When I was younger I was worried about that but with time I comprehend the value of silence (sometimes, not for all the evening) and that silence is not a fault but it’s something accepted both by me and by my friends, since there’s no particular effort from them too to make great talks in that situations.


If you feel uneasy, you can ask them how they feel in that moment, or about something happening (something trivial like weather), than you can say you appreciate their company, and let them talk.

Always…I am not the talkative one though. When it gets to much I enjoy private time.-I do activities on my own and get reintergized…. build back up. Do you do that too?

One of them is visiting me and I feel hanging out for long is quite a struggle for me because I have no idea what say

I’m a good listener…maybe that’s why she enjoys you. That usually happens-the talkers seem to like to hangout with the listeners.

Literally never.
