i feel like this and am this. for me its an issue of small talk. i spent a moment recently thinking about that phrase - small talk. is it small due to the intellectual depth of the subject matter? no. what's small is span of the horizon that borders the topical material.
"hows the weather?", "shops always busier on the friday/payday". the breadth of the topic is the immediate surrounding. I find myself stymied when emotional states get factored in. hume says that ideas derived from sensory impressions can be acted on by the imagination, and the imagination can take subsequent ideas into fantasy.
when the imagination acts on these ideas, it forks off into the direction of ideas related by resemblance, continguity in space or time, or cause and effect.
I feel sometimes like I have a fourth option added to that, but i haven't yet payed enough attention to define it. the end result is that i bring up topics too far unrelated to most people's experience, so i'm a weirdo.
adding to this, the fact that I don't make good eye contact is ready-to-burn nightmare fuel tier daydreaming. some solution may be derived from finding a use for spare CPU cycles, instead of imagining where the direction of small talk will lead.
whats funny is that if i'm in a good mood, then the natural emotional state acts like a rudder to steer the interactions naturally. neone have 30mg roxycodone? ty in advice
