Ah, well it was finally something I could help with!
I didn't really expect to get answers at all.
I might be extremely careful allowing certain discussions/topics and try to avoid them here completely, because they are extremely sensitive to me, but people might not expect them to be sensitive.
Despite such topics I still have to learn to ask for adivce/help in general. I know that I really have a problem doing so.
One of those sensitive topics - probably the most important one - is my awful internet connection - something that affects my life every day and I cannot change. I am absolutely sick of any advice here as I've gotten far to many already. If there exists an "easy" solution, the problem would have been solved already.
So of course I try to avoid anyone getting into this topic as I really don't want to discuss it over and over again. (And this is not an invitation to pick up this topic.) In case anyone is wondering: That's why I don't really try podcasts, why I don't watch series online regulary. There's simply a pretty strict data limitation.
E.g. The audiobooks on youtube I can download elsewhere to listen to them at home later. It's not really comfortable, so I kind of dislike doing it. When it comes to films I start to consider buying a (used) DVD much earlier than "normal" people as I can just compare it with the price of additional data volume.
That's it. Now you probably got some kind of impression.Just in case someone has some nice idea, what to write here, or what s/he what's to know...
I mean, I can still decide not to answer for whatever reason.

You're not the only one. When someone is "too silent" I either end up talking like a waterfall or not really saying anything. However, with Finns I am a lot more often ok with being silent. But in general it depends on the person and my mood. In lively discussions it can be similar, you'll often encounter only one or the other option.
It's kind of interesting, because it leads to some people knowing me as extremely talkactive and others as extremely silent, and then they don't believe me, that it can be the other way. (It's especially annoying when people don't believe me being actually shy...)
But when comfortably being silent around someone, who is silent as well in that moment, that can be just wonderful. Unfortunately such situations are rare.
