Just Can't Think

[joung]

I don't know if this is an actual disorder, but here it goes... I always thought I had social anxiety, but even if I'm trying to have a conversation with someone I'm comfortable around, I just lose my flow of thought. I can never come up with something witty to say and I can't add any real substance to a conversation. I see people on these forums coming up with 7 paragraph responses, and I can't even come up with a sentence. Also, reading is hell...I could probably read an entire book and when asked what it's about, I'd come up with nothing. I have the worst time thinking up my own opinions and explaining too. When I read something for school for instance, and when I have to write my own interpretation, I just can't, so I go online and sort of restate other's interpretations. What is this, am I just really stupid?
I'll do a better job at explaining this later, I'm real lazy.

I don't know that it is an actual disorder, but I have that too sometimes.
For me, I think that it's due to the fact that I live in my own head so much of the time, I don't 'practice' what I would say if I had the chance to say how I feel...or describe what I read.... or even fill in that empty space when you know you should be having a conversation (particularly with someone I'm attracted to), but cannot think of anything to say.
I think that it gets better the more situations you put yourself in, where you need to talk to people
