how to have a conversation?

Hi, I feel a bit stupid writing this. I really struggle with conversations and I know that a lot of autistic people struggle with conversations but I was wondering if anyone had developed any strategies for having conversations? How can I have a long conversation? My conversations last about 2 minutes and then I run out of things to say. I would really like some advice.

  • dont force it, peoples conversations are shallow and pointless anyway, and im sure most people just love the sound of their own voice. the best philosophy is that if there isnt anything to say then why say anything at all? it all becomes noise for the sake of noise but this is what people want in society and is normal. alot of people just repeat themselves over and over and youd hear the same thing said 1000 times from them and it kinda gets boring and obnoxious and youd wish you had a skip function like in games as you heard it all before lol
