I am in a stage where I feel simply disconnected from both friends and potential acquaintances.
At parties I cannot effeftly communicate or make meaningful conversation (job, habits, etc.) and I feel overall like my ability to open myself to people has shrunk considerably.
I am happily partnered, so am not searching for romance, but am saddened by my inability to entertain chit chat in group settings with people I am not familiar with. Anyone else encounter themselves in a similar situation?
