One of the many things too painful to admit

This is literally the reason I've stopped trying long time ago. Every time when trying to be in a group which has more than 3 people (including myself), I usually find myself constantly wanting to say something, but can't find an opening to even open my mouth. Even if I do get that moment I have a chance to speak up on the current topic, I either wait the millisecond too long and someone else starts talking, or I'll be interrupted mid-sentence if I don't word my opinion as shortly as possible and my mouth immediately goes shut because of reflex (and it sucks, but can't help it even if I acknowledge this problem). This often leads to the situation I just don't have a chance to participate to conversation at all as I try to avoid interrupting others at all costs myself, and I'll just be there, being like "well, I had an opinion about that, but that topic has already passed and it would be dumb to bring it up again. No one probs is even interested about what I wanted to say". Needless to say, I never even try to tell longer stories in any situation anymore when there is more than 1 person with me, and even then, I try to be quick about anything I want to say.

That being said, thank you to everyone who stand for people with similar problems as I do. You are the true MVPs, heroes without capes.
