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”.

    Sure! I mean, we’re doing it right now, right? ;)

    Or do you mean exclusively in person?

    I’ll be honest with you, I don’t get out much (health issues) but when I do, I don’t LIKE talking to people, but I do, because it takes so little effort to make someone feel better about their day.

    It also helps that pretty much everyone here has a tattoo and that’s a good icebreaker.

    “Wow, nice ink! How long have you had it?”

      Exclusively in person. For me online chat has very little value and the lack of a face gives you a protection you can’t have out there.

        100%. Chatting online has nothing to do with talking to people in real life. It’s completely different. I have no idea who you are on the other side of this, and I don’t even want to know. That’s the major difference, this is just wasting time together, not building relationships.

          We ask pointless stuff all the time
