Preference to chat with one or two people

Lotus

I prefer to chat with just one or two people - more than that and it doesn't feel so comfortable. In a group, communication feels more forced and less natural to me. Is this because there are too many people to focus on and the conversation becomes more "random"?

Does anyone have any knowledge or ideas about this?

  • I am the same as you Pixiefox except I can’t manage to follow the conversation with two other people. During my autism assessment, the clinical psychologist said that autistic people can have difficulties processing the conversation when it involves more than one other person. The timing of when to speak and when to stay silent is a complete mystery to me. I really can’t understand how somebody can speak their turn and it appears seamless to me. I know what I should be doing (or I think I do), but I can’t work out how to get the timing right.
