when i'm with the type of people that make it hard to add my opinion in the conversation, i simply say " I have an opinion about this if you want to hear it" or " I have an interesting anecdote about this if you want to hear it" or simply . I'd like to add something". but really, this is just bad communication, if I find it hard to speak in a conversation its generally because I am trying to have a conversation with people who are not very good at communicating, this litterally never happens with my friends because I chose them because talking with them is nice, I avoid people who don't communicate well. sometimes a little bit of intolerance is not so bad, I have abandoned many people down the road because talking with them was going nowhere but by doing that I ended up with an amazing selection of the smartest and kindest people. everyone that I am close to now are all super awesome people. like panning for gold you have to let a lot of rubish go by so that once in a while you pick up a tiny gold nugget. they become your friends.
