What would help me get involved in conversations better?
I'm a very silent, socially anxious person with a small friend circle. Whenever I hang out with my friends I feel the reason I don't talk much is because I haven't experienced anything to the point that I could add to conversations. I grew up a sheltered life. I'm an only child and my cousins live in different cities. I haven't played games most of my friends have. I haven't tasted dishes most of my friends have as only normal, everyday stuff was cooked at home. I can't involve into convos revolving around something as simple as food!! They talk about their childhood experiences and memories and I don't seem to have anything to share. I attend one of the top universities in my country and whenever they start talking about studies I jump into the convo. I think they've noticed it already. I don't want to come across as a nerd. So I've started avoiding hanging out with my own friendsðŸ˜. Is there a solution for this? #relationships source
