This is often the case. I'm really shy in real life so I understand. It takes a while for me to warm up to people and even then I'm so selective. I keep my circle small. ⭕

Yes the exact same thing happens to me, at first I find it hard to follow a topic of conversation and it's not because I don't want to I feel self-conscious, I have the exact words to say but I just don't say them, but with some people that doesn't happen to me and I can really be me.

I love that feeling when I begin to feel comfortable with someone although I'm still always quite guarded I guess, at least for a while. There's very few who see the real me, that I open up to, but I'm ok with it. If you and I were in the same room we'd stand there and not talk, hide behind the plant in the corner maybe. Lol.
