Is it normal to think this way?

Being alone is better than being with one person because I don't have to think about what to talk about and totally can avoid potential awkward silence.

Being with two people is better than alone because I can rely on the other two people to talk about whatever when I am running out of topics to carry on with the conversation and staying silent won't make me appear as awkward either.

    It sounds like when in a 1-on-1 situation you apply too much pressure to yourself. You're not expected to talk all the time. The both of you can simply be alone whilst in each others presence. It's not unhealthy to do so. If you think of something you wanna say/discuss then awesome, if you don't then at times it's nice to just have company.

    I honestly enjoy my time alone. I think I could enjoy my time with one, or two people, but it all depends on who the people are. The more I have in common with the people, or person the better. Also the person has to be a relatively chill animal person, because my cat always comes first! Anyone who isn't into animals, and or might get jealous of my cat is just not worth my time, energy, or emotion.

    Both views make perfect sense - if you believe you have to be prattling away about some trivial crap every moment you're with someone else.

    When you say you "appear awkward" when you're silent, what you mean is that you _believe_ others are thinking you're awkward when you're not wittering on. It's possible that is what they're thinking, but it's also possible you're projecting your insecurity.

    If the people you associate with are so shallow, so immature and so needy for constant stimulation that they can't cope with silence when you're with them, then maybe you should think about finding some different friends who know that there is such a thing as comfortable silence when people are together.

    I’m like that as well. It’s too hard to hide in a one on one conversation

    Maybe, seems like what someone smoking weed would rather. Maybe someone with anxiety
