Yes.

I would add that anytime someone has anxiety issues surrounding making small talk or relating to others, I look to whether there is an overabundance of energy (like Merc-Jupiter aspects or Merc/Jup strong related houses) that focus the native on "big picture specifics" issues OR a stellium of planets in a house that makes them a specialist on one or limited subjects.

The latter above stated will often "light up" furiously as soon as the conversation turns into an area that they know a lot about.

They can have what you call "verbal diarrhoea " and come across "nerdy" or profound (depending on how they express themselves).But can be meek and seem disinterested in anything outside those preferred areas of expertise.Finding it difficult to relate or even contribute to what is being talked about within the group.

Such people often need to actively read a range of socially-related subjects on sport /news or entertainment etc. In order to have anything to say in a social setting. Their knowledge will of course not be deep on the those topics. Unlike those they are really interested in. Because in that instance, they can go all out👌🏿

Splay/splash chart people OR those who have a generous helping of planets covering a lot of the natal chart, tend to be very versatile and able to converse easily with others OR "melt" into group discussions seamlessly. Neither leading , nor lagging behind. Just putting in their 2 cents worth now and then and contributing.

This versatility is also apparent with those with planets in house 3/house 1 or house 5 (barring a stellium of planets being there that wil emphasize "specialization").

But if ruler of the 3rd, 1st or 5th is in the 12th? Maybe Neptune in 1st, 3rd or 5th? Mercury in 12th, Mercury in 9th, Mercury in 8th, Mercury in 4th tend to be specialists in those areas where the house is at.

So unless there is supportive planets all over other many houses. They may not have much to say about anything outside those mentioned houses. Because they are specialists. And small talk is tough for them.

Henry Cavill has been very open about his social anxiety and "nerdy" personality. He is actually an online gamer who prefers his dog's company to humans🤷🏿‍♂️(his words not mine).

Moon/Mercury are contra-parallel.And both are parallel/contra parallel to Jupiter.

In one interview on his role on "The Witcher" Henry went on literal geek mode when an interviewer shared Henry's enthusiasm for online computer gaming.

I dropped out of school, and was much happier working at home. I have friends, but mostly online. I don't know most people in my area, because I was agoraphobic when I was moved here, and my parents were working all the time. They actually built a home office for mum, so that I would have some company. I was alone a lot, just as I am now.
