Hello social anxiety!

It me again, this time with an apology~!
So, during a recent conversation with some friends, it was pointed out that I'm not the most talkative of individuals. Being that they're my friends, I was surprised it took them that long to come to that conclusion as I thought it pretty apparent. But no, what they were attempting to say is that I'm absolutely terrible at small talk and am only really an okay conversationalist when I have others around to fall on for support. Which... definitely tracks. xB I think part of it is that even when I do have something to talk about, I think everyone will be completely bored or disinterested in the topic so I usually don't bring it up.
With that being said, I thought it might be best to kind of reach out an apology for anyone that's tried to have a one on one conversation with me... really at any point in time. I hope I didn't come across as rude, cold, distant, or whatever else. It was never intended! I just usually have a hard time beyond the pretty standard "hey" and "how's it going" type of stuff. So, blanket apology. And in the future, if I figure y'all don't mind random bits of information related to my goings on and all that, I'm gonna try and get better at conversing after the "hello"s and "how have you been"s. :B
Thanks, and love ya, friends~!
