Same. Idk about you but I find conversations difficult to keep track of in the moment. Writing a journal entry recounting an important conversation helps me process things and gives me ideas of what to talk about next time. Maybe that could help.

You have to push yourself a little bit every day to start a conversation. Grow more self-confidence and your voice will be heard. I’ve struggled with Social anxiety for years so I understand your pain. Trust, it will get better!!

Growing confidence takes time and faith in yourself. You have to tell yourself every day that you deserve to be heard. I recommend watching YouTube videos on self-love. Even having a hobby you work on every day is a confidence booster. As for conversations, try to talk to your classmates, neighbors, or strangers in the store. Just a simple “hello” or asking them a question is the easiest way to start a conversation because people love to talk about themselves.
