I think I need more practice talking with people in real time (about intellectual topics). (I’ve gotten much more used to text chat/​comments, which I like because it puts less time pressure on me to think and respond quickly, but I feel like I now incur a large cost due to excessively shying away from talking to people, hence the desire for practice.) If anyone wants to have a voice chat with me about a topic that I’m interested in (see my recent post/​comment history to get a sense), please contact me via PM.
