Is it normal to think of topics to talk about ahead of time so it's not awkward

Before I hang out with people (especially one-on-one) I always think of a list of topics to talk about. I memorize the list so I can make sure there are no awkward silences in the conversation.

    Pretty typical for socially awkward people.

    This is really smart. I only learned about this a year ago from one of my roommates. Wish I had thought of it myself!

    I'm sure this is normal. It can be hard to think of something to talk about sometimes. But maybe u should try not doing that and see what comes off the top of your head haha u might be pleasantly surprised. Sometimes random stuff can be silly and fun
