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?

  • For me it is timing when it is my turn to speak that becomes exponentially more difficult as numbers in a conversation increase. I have a weekly Skype call with two old friends from schooldays. Obviously, I am very comfortable talking to them, but even so I probably speak for a fraction of the time the others do, which I think is down to timing problems.
