Villi1997 1,832 Posted November 28, 2014 It's like that every time i try talking to someone about what had happened to them, the conversations go smoothly. But when i talk to someone about about myself it becomes kinda obnoxious. Do you think i should stop talking to other people in general? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kello 310 Posted November 28, 2014 People want to talk about themselves. Stop talking and people who really are interested in your life will start the conversation. 1 Geralt reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geralt 4,874 Posted November 28, 2014 Nah. Don't stop talking to people. Everybody has their own ways of conversation. Myself, i'm incredibly bad at starting a topic in the first place. 2 Josuke Higashikata and Kello reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littleTSUBAME 483 Posted November 28, 2014 Well, that's your decision entirely. But if I was you, I wouldn't stop. Just concentrate on people who are actually interested in you and your thoughts. Most people love to talk about themselves and you just have to deal with it, but if that's all they do, it's not fair to you and you shouldn't bother yourself with them. If you're usually the one to start the conversation, I'd suggest you sometimes let the other person do it. That way you'd see if they even want to talk with you.

Forever 3,550 Posted December 5, 2014 Hmmm..... Well, I usually find myself having to be the conversation starter. This isn't a bad thing, but it can become tiring after a while. Therefore, I actually become excited when someone else initiates a conversation first. It creates great contrast, ya know? A little hi, how are you? Simple. That part is usual fine. Most inner frustration arises when people cannot carry on the conversation or add anything to it. I mean, shouldn't a healthy talk require proper reciprocation from both party's ? Sometimes, I feel like people will tell me about themselves (which I love) But anytime I want to do the same, people either. 1. Don't care. 2. Have no idea how to respond to anything I just said. 3. Quickly, (sometimes rudely) change the subject. Which is so odd....I want to be able to chat with people who don't always remain silent. It weirds me out when people can't respond. I know that itself seems odd for me to say, but....I dunno. Maybe the way I think and talk is too overwhelming? Lol. Ah, well...I think the only thing worse than that is people who prefer that their own interests to be discussed, or nothing at all. What I would suggest is to just keep trying. Despite how frustrating social interaction can be sometimes, I've learned that it's worse to not try it at all. Very bad things happen if you keep everything to yourself for too long.
