How do I become a more talkative person? I'm generally a pretty quiet person and I lowkey cannot stand it. I always feel so weird for being quiet but at the same time I don't really know what to talk about because my life is pretty average and I feel like I'll just bore the people around me. Sometimes when I'm with my gf I want to talk with her so bad but I just have no clue what to talk about. I also have a stutter so that doesn't really help because even when I do have something to say or ask I oftentimes just stay quiet in fear of judgement and save myself from the embarrassment of getting stuck on a word. I do try my best to not let my stutter stop me but a good portion of the time I stay quiet because of it. I want know how to be more talkative and grow as a person but I have no clue how. Does anyone have advice?
