Sometimes I hate being an introvert. Within a moment of opportunity, I have splendid conversations in my head, everything's going great! But in real-time - um, oh, ah - awkward silence.

Maybe try to overcome the feeling that the silence is awkward. For me, non-verbal acknowledgement and a smile are ways to tell others you know they are there and that you are satisfied with the quiet.

What’s your interpretation of this? Kinda reminds me of introverts in consulting but I think there are probably half orange and half garlic 😂
