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?

  • Thanks for this question. I didn't know that it was a question that I also needed to ask (I'm recently diagnosed). 

    I usually don't have a problem talking to one other person but, more often than not, bring another person into the conversation and I sit back and let them entertain themselves. I often completely zone out of their conversation but sometimes hear something that piques my interest which is when I blurt out something, usually inappropriate.

    I always thought that I just didn't have any interest in the conversations but now I'm thinking that it's a combination of no interest and the delayed processing making it hard work to follow what they're talking about.
