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 have experience of this and more than I would like to have. It just spells disaster for me trying to keep track of what is being said and then trying to think of something to add. It leaves me well behind in the conversation and results in people laughing at my expense and me feeling like I failed socially. There are a small minority of people who I can manage in numbers of 4 or 5 individuals but there is a time limit.
