How does someone always have something to share with their friends or family
Like they always have something to talk about
And won’t be any awkward silent moment
I find it hard to start any topic to friends or family members, even spouse.
How do you guys maintain that communication without awkward silent
These things dont come naturally for some of us. I had to research n read up on how to achieve that. Basically u n the opposite person share about your lives thats past or recent or future. Relate to each other’s topic. Read a about conversation threading. Ask about opinions of recent stuff happening. If run out of things to say then do activities or travelling together then talk about those activities n repeat
I wanna add on by letting you know that its okay if there’s awkward silence. Not every moment has to be filled with conversation, and comfortable silence is a sign of a strong connection too. Some people are naturally more talkative, but that doesn’t mean you have to force yourself to always have something to say. That being said, it helps to say curious about the person you are talking to and ask open-ended questions to them (people love to talk about themselves!) if not you can share small things like simply mentioning a random thought you had or a funny thing you saw.
I agree with @avocadotoast ~ being comfortable with silence with different people can also show that everyone’s presence is enough of a connection! and even as an extrovert myself, I also don’t always like yapping LOL Especially small talk cause it can also feel like it leads to an abrupt stop.
And if anyone asks why you’re not talking, you can tell them you’re practicing your listening skills hehe. I learnt that from my close friends who aren’t the fondest of talking to large groups also.
Hey @Whispering !
It might seem like everyone always has something to say, but i assure you that isn’t the case for sure. It might be that you are noticing such situations of talking and sharing more than the quiet moments. Im a fellow introvert in real life - you’re not alone in talking lesser!
I find myself reverting back to talking about singapore’s weather often when i do not have much to say, haha. Asking follow up questions about what the other party says also helps in maintaining conversations!
Importantly, there is nothing wrong with remaining silent or not talking as much. In fact, it might be one of your quirks and charms! You might find that when you don’t try as hard to talk to someone and you find a connection where you do yap to them, a true and lasting friendship would form - instead of small talk with acquaintances here and there 
I think the others have shared some useful points about not needing each moment to be filled all the time and silence being okay!
I want to add that also conversation is a two-way street! Everyone’s involved in contributing to conversation and you’re not solely responsible for any awkwardness. I think some do have a talent for conversing with others and in a way maintain a conversation without awkward silence.
But for most of us, we probably would be relying on what everyone involved in a conversation to brings to the table! 
It’s very true that awkward silence may sound like a convo taking a pause, or rather, a stop, at the least. 
However, sometimes, it might be useful, for us to take a nice breather from all the chatting (or yapping), while thinking of the next subject or topic, to talk about, just for a while, before resuming. 
Hope that helps abit. 
That’s so true indeed, and hey, even introverts like me may end up finishing my lines to say, before running out of words to resume listening already. 
Just not sure why there are some of us, except me, who can keep the conversation ongoing, just so infinitely. 
hi @Whispering ,
Many people struggle with finding topics to discuss and maintaining smooth conversations. Like many others here have already shared, silence is totally fine! Do not worry about any awkwardness with friends, family and spouse. I am sure they will feel valued and loved just by having you around
Totally get where you’re coming from. That “always having something to say” thing can feel like a mystery, but honestly, for a lot of people, it’s not about saying anything super deep—it’s just about sharing the small stuff.
Personally, I dive into my quirkiness or weirdness when things get quiet. Everyone who knows me knows that if the convo hits a lull, I’ll randomly go, “How’s life, guys?” or even “What do you think about the quality of the air?” HAHA. It’s kind of my way of breaking the silence without pressure, and it often makes people laugh or open up a bit.
A few things that help with keeping convos going:
Talk about anything, even the little things.
Something you saw on social media, a random thought, or even what you ate—doesn’t have to be deep. “I saw this TikTok where a cat opened a fridge” can lead to a full-on convo somehow.
Ask light, open-ended questions.
Stuff like “What have you been up to lately?” or “Any plans this weekend?”—people usually appreciate being asked.
React more than initiate.
You don’t always have to bring something new up—just responding with curiosity to what others say keeps the flow going.
Silence isn’t always bad.
Especially with close ones, just being together without filling every second with talk is actually kinda comforting.
At the end of the day, communication doesn’t have to be constant or perfect. It’s more about creating a space where people feel okay being themselves—quirks, silences, random air-quality comments and all.
I really get it, I had the same thing in the past, and I relate to what you’re saying. I used to wonder how some people always seem to have something to talk about, and I would overthink so much before even saying anything.
What helped me a bit was learning to stop overthinking and realizing it’s okay to start small- like sharing something random that happened in my day, or just saying what’s on my mind without filtering it too much. It doesn’t have to be deep or clever, just real and let it flow. That shift was hard at first, but it’s definitely something you can practice.
And honestly, there are still quiet moments sometimes, but I’ve learned to live with them peacefully. Sometimes those silences actually hold something genuine. So I try not to see them as a bad thing or worry about what the other person might be thinking. They can simply be a natural part of being around someone you feel safe with.
