Actually, it happens a lot with me. Sometimes when people are discussing something with totally different backgrounds and there are no common basics at all then there is no points of discussing or convincing each others. That's when I feel there is nothing left to say.

I think it is impossible for anyone to run out of things to say, but I do think that you get to a point where you may not be motivated to share it.

Gratification is something we fundamentally crave. If you are sharing things you care deeply about and you are encountering low receptivity to your expressions, then I think it's natural to just shut down.
But when you experience an integration with an equally open minded alternate entity, the adventure of synergizing your beliefs to a new place of awareness is awesome. We NEVER will know it all. Start there and realize that believing anything is just a starting point that takes you to a neverending evolution of thought that will be different and hopefully better.
If you really get what I'm trying to say, you may realize that what you asked was responded to because I actually care about what you're saying. That might make you feel like you're appreciated. You might already be on your way to figuring out what else matters to you that needs to be heard by others, so that you can continue to get the feedback that will make you a better person.

The problem I run into is that I'm no longer interested in discussing topics that used spark me. Mostly because the things I had been discussing were superficial conversation fodder. Once I started to seek out the deeper questions, I realized that the topics I had been concerning myself with were completely useless and irrelevant in the bigger picture of what life is. I suddenly found that I could care less about who said what to who, or how so and so did whatever it was...and I found that most people were not interested in discussing the deeper things. Now in social situations I find I am somewhat awkward because I honestly have no interest in most of what is being discussed, but I also don't want to be rude by telling them I don't care ( which I have done a few times, to my sister who could handle it) I have become rather quiet, allowing people to talk at me until they are satisfied. I'm trying to find the balance between shallowly socializing with people and deeply connecting with people. There has to be a time and place for both, I just haven't figured it out yet. When it comes to my own writing however and discussions on this site, I find I have LOADS more to say, I feel like the mental fog has cleared and I can express myself with more clarity.
