Why do I feel like communication is so tiring when I know what's painful should be the absence of communication? Why on earth is everything labelled as small talk in my mind, and I feel so drained of energy and tired whenever I speak to.. almost everyone?

So what is communication? Communication is about sharing and listening - listening is not about simply nodding your head, but about responding as well.

Lately, I haven't been able to talk to others because I often can't find anything to say. Perhaps it's because I haven't been listening attentively, haven't cared about anyone enough. I want to apologize for always disappearing after exchanging one or two sentences, for ignoring texts or replying only after a week or a few.
