Because I honestly can’t. I can barely talk with the very few people I know. Is just so out of my range. That’s why I don’t have friends or a partner and I don’t see that changing.
EDIT: no, responding comments here or asking this question ISN’T having a conversation for me. So I don’t feel this as “progress”.
I used to chat up Uber drivers before the pan. I did it mainly to be friendly and because sometimes there’d be a cool story to learn. Now I’m back to ignoring them and being on my phone.
