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 can, yes. Do I often? I do so less now than I did when I was younger just because I’m not in as many places where random conversations would happen.

    As others have said, it takes practice to be able to do that. Along with that, I’d recommend reading up on active listening. A lot of people are happy to talk if others listen.
