How willing are you to initiate a conversation?

I'll talk to anybody, idc, but I have to have something to say, I'm bad at small talk and awkward silences don't bother me at all.
This, pretty much!
I love trying to talk with people for the sake of making friends/being entertaining, but truthfully, I'm perfectly okay with just sitting in silence with someone. I usually have a really hard time thinking of anything to say even around my few best friends, so others almost always have to make the first move if they want to get to know me; it's extremely rare for me to strike up a conversation with someone first, but if I do, it probably took a lot of courage and definitely means that I like you.

On the flipside, though, I do need a lot of alone time in between conversations because I can't handle being around people 24/7; whenever this is the case, finding or talking to me is impossible.

I too am fine with talking to anyone, though I tend to be not sure what I want to talk about and instead have someone else talk to me first. Goes both real life and online.

I want to start conversations but I usually can't get myself to start many. Many times I feel that most of what I will say won't be very meaningful or be in the other person's interests to hear. I'm pretty bad at phrasing stuff aswell. My speech tends to sound really cliche in real life. So I usually wait for someone to start saying something which never happens or deals with schoolwork. Online, I don't really have much experience handling conversations... But I joined Pokecommunity to hopefully change that.

I hate talking to my neighbors. They are all so kirakira~ let's be tomodachis and I'm like go away I hate talking nonsense, especially if we go through the "what a rainy day" or "how's your family doing?" stuff.

As I am a robot, I am incapable of dreaming, but... how shall I put it? I have very much longed to

I'll talk to anyone. It usually takes a lot for me to dislike someone interested in talking to me. I generally just enjoy people so it doesn't take very much for me to open myself up to others :)

I'm usually the one to initiate, only to find people don't want to talk, or at least they do but not with me, it's kind of sad, but I'm learning to deal with it.

I'm willing to reply to somebody who says something to me...

But most of the time, I'm probably not going to be the one to start things. I would far rather keep to myself and not say anything (plus I tend to not be sure of how to start conversations, so yeah).

I'm really bad at starting a conversation and keeping one makes me a nervous wreck because I don't say very much or I just nod my head. I kind of don't like doing that some of the time, but it's just my nature. Though when it comes to my super nosey relatives, it helps me snap back to whatever I was doing.

This 100% describes me! Remove the one about best friends and add it helps to have a common interest, like video games.

Mmm I'd say not very. There has to be something for me to say or show you for a conversation to happen.. and then usually once it starts I run out of things to say fast, but I do try to talk anyway. It's easiest for me to converse in groups rather than one-on-one.. I save the latter for veeery close people.

I can try to start a conversation, but my mental health always comes first so if I'm in the down state then it's gonna be difficult to get one going.

I like to try and talk to who ever I can, not so easy though. For me I always get this social anxiety when I'm around people. I'll still try to start a conversation though as it's quite relaxing when people are open to having a conversation. Funnily enough I myself am not so receptive when someone random tries to start conversation with me...*shrug*

It depends on the situation for me. Usually, I'm more than willing, cause I hate awkward silence over anything. But there are times where I'm kind of in a bad mood or am distracted by something, which makes it so that I'm not really paying attention to anything around me, especially not a conversation.
he did it, not me.

I prefer to be talked to first. However, it also depends on my mood. I'm the type of person who becomes terrified of the other person if I talk first. I think a lot of this is also because of my autism too.
