Is something wrong with me?

I always have nothing to say in conversations and it's super awkward and embarassing for me now.
Even with my bes friend of over 7 years, I feel awkward calling her too because I am afraid i'll have nothing to talk about which is stupid since she's my closest friend ever. Tf is wrong with me and how can i change this?

My parents also visited me from abroad after a whole year, and I had nohing to say to them either. The whole week i spent with them, i did not converse and i feel stupid and bad for it. They came all that way and i didn't even socialise :/ They met my friends, and all my friends spoke o them and i was the only one not talking.
Idk why and i don't do it on purpose, but i can never initiate or hold a conversation and it's quite upsetting really.

any advice? I sometimes want to say something but have anxiety so always refrain, eventhough it's not rude etc.

Maybe u should try reach for some new friends, or meet up with more than one of your friends so that a conversation can occur that u can drop in onto when u feel ready which could grow your confidence and communication skills- and speak to your friends and family about it it after all they know u best.
Hope this helps xx

Perhaps this is to do with anxiety. Sometimes, with anxiety, it can be easy to freeze and not say anything in the conversation. You'd rather wait for the other person to start/finish the conversation. I'd definitely look into anxiety! It's horrible. But there's so many ways to ease it.
Either that, or you are just not comfortable with the people you have around you.
