Be awkward by being quiet

Be awkward by being quiet because I don't know how to speak. A deeper struggle with speaking might come from a few reasons:

1. Fear of not being understood

2. Overthinking every word

3. Fear of judgment

4. Not knowing how to start

5. Exhaustion from talking

6. Fear of saying the wrong thing

7. Unnatural feeling of opening up

8. Pressure to sound smart or interesting
