So I haven’t posted on here in a while. Mainly because I’m not anxious but the thoughts are still pinging around in there. They definitely still feel real. But now I’m caught up on the fact that we sit in silence a lot and just play our games or watch tv. But with other people I can talk for a long time. It might be because we live together and I know it’s honestly unrealistic to expect us to be talking 24/7, but it doesn’t stop me from feeling like it’s actually a problem

And we live w two other couples and they seem to talk a lot more than we do

Try mixing it up a little bit! Not that staying in watching TV or playing games isn’t fun but find ways for you two to engage with each other in a fun way!

Awww man I feel like this too sometimes, but I figured that we are just comfy together. Maybe do some fun activities like painting together, play a board game, go outside for a walk and take pictures of the nature together, go to an arcade together , bake a cake or cookies together etc! Me and my boyfriend play a lot of games too and sometimes we don't talk for hours. I know this might be reassurance but it's okay to not always talk to eachother and do nothing together. Your head is making a problem out of it. Try to sit with the feeling that it is a problem. It sucks and I think you know as well.

Omg I've been through this EXACT same thing. I believe that once you know someone really well, and you spend so much time together, conversation will naturally run dry unless you find new things to do. I dated my best friend for a while and we didn't speak as much after a while, and we also lived together. There comes a point where you spend so much time together where you tend to not have as much to say, and because you know each other so well you're comfortable in that silence. I had trouble with this too, it can be really, really unsettling and make you worry, but it isn't always an indication of anything awful, it may just mean you've been spending a lot of time together. One thing I did was take an interest in some of the things he exclusively did. Like, he liked animal crossing, so I gave it a try, and we ended up talking about that for ages! Don't panic though. Same thing has happened to me in both previous relationships I've had (and in both a lot of time was spent together). I think it's fairly normal :)
