I confess I had no idea what I did wrong that you would never talk to me unless I said something first, but I just assumed you didn’t find my conversation topics interesting, so I didn’t want to keep bothering you.
No! I like talking to you. Or being talked to by you. I just feel like I have absolutely nothing worth saying. And it's not a case of me holding back from saying things because of a lack of confidence. There's a barrier that blocks my ability to think when I make an effort to come up with conversation topics. A towering wall with the words "you have nothing of value to contribute because you have no value and do nothing" written across it in large, unfriendly letters. And it leans over me, so that if I try to push on it it could collapse and crush me.
On the other hand, I can bounce off things other people say pretty well. Mostly.
