I feel lost for words.
Whenever I am talking to someone I feel scared. I feel scared that I might say the wrong thing that will end whatever good is happening. Lately my fear has gotten so strong that sometimes I'm afraid to even reply back. My title says, "I feel lost for words." When I was younger I tried to default to humor, but I don't think most people like my humor. So my freedom of humor has pretty much disappeared. Cause I don't want to offend anyone. I'm just not good enough for conversation, I feel. I didn't used to feel this way. But now days I find myself feeling this way all the time.

I think we all feel that way ... I think of all the lost friends or opportunities is worth saying something silly not continually censoring ourselves for some possible small chance we might offend.
Truth be told now days taking offense seems to be a sport where it is not enough to censor as someone can twist and turn anything to be that. What is the result..... a lot of lonely people afraid to offend so we just do not engage. IT is not you....
@tryingtosurvive2024 I think only people with some kind of maliciousness in their hearts go out of their way to say something specifically aimed to hurt someone's feelings. If you're not trying to do that then I think you're okay, no need to be so extreme in monitoring your words ^^
