Why am I so untalkative?
Hello I'm a 20 year old guy,I've tried everything I could to be more talkative but I stil find solace in being alone and to myself or just messing with my phone watching bball or playing it.its so bad that when I see friends along my path my mind just automatically tells me to hide because I bore,I'm basically a burden to relate with, its even happening within my family.most times the other party(ies) mostly carry the converstion.don't get me wrong I would really like to relate with people and make more friends because being alone can be quite lonely and depressing,but I just can't its too hard please help

You know, I'm exactly like you and I assure you that nothing is wrong with being quiet, that's just who you are. I recommend reading a book called "The Highly Sensitive Person" it's an eye opener and it really helped me grasp, the fact that I'm unique, and that my needs are different from that of other people. Sometimes we all need a little quiet, but for people like us we need it a lot more. Read that book it will really open your eyes, and don't go with preconceived notions that your "introverted" or suffer from "social anxiety" just read the book for a fresh perspective on what people like us are, and why we are the way we are.

Same here. I've learned that if I have nothing to say, then don't say anything. Conversation becomes a lot more meaningful that way. There's nothing wrong with being more introverted.
