Post Reply New Topic

I'm 28 be 29 in August and feel like I have actually regressed conversation skill wise have barely any friends I used to try and memorize stuff from the internet I like listening to other people more then myself talk but im just not sure what kids of questions I need to ask them about their self my mind goes blank alot on what to say to people and I dont want to bore them either anyways anyone improve their social skills how did you do it?

Maybe viewing conversation as something like music where you focus less on the words per se, but the rhythm and sound.

Theres a guy I work with who seems like he always has a plethora of anecedotes to use during conversation, and no matter what, I can't do it. So I'm trying to focus more on the aspect of socializng that is more visceral and less about the content; how I say it rather than what I say. This is what politicians and news media does, but I'm not trying to be fake like they are.

You don't really have to say much to make friends; you just have to listen, and seem to understand and accept people. If I wanted to have more conversations, the biggest adjustment would be a willingness to spend a lot of time with people and topics that bore me today.
