learn how to talk to people

yeah…

Heyy I am a 19 year old doing my bachelor’s degree in Economics in Trivandrum in Kerala, India. I’ve always been a man of few words and I have been ok with it. But something happened to me yesterday that suddenly made me want to learn the art of conversation. A friend whom I met through the net 3 years ago and whom I’ve never met in person called me yesterday to tell me that her dad had a mild heart-attack, and she who’s usually the happiest person around cried when she was saying this to me. She said that she couldn’t talk to anyone coz she didn’t feel comfortable and that I was the only person that she could talk to. And, I couldn’t find a decent reply to what she said to me. I mean I literally stayed silent for an entire 10 minutes on the phone and she was calling me from so far away. I felt like I didn’t do justice to her and I feel horrible for not being able to offer her a comforting word. Now I am not sure if she’ll ever see me as the same person. I desperately need to learn how to talk. If she stops talking to me, I’ll never forgive myself…

Hello! I’m 27, and I think I could learn how to talk to people better!
All my life I’ve been a person of few talking, I think it started since I’m the only son of my parents, and then when I was 10 they split up and it made my life even more alone.

It wasn’t all bad, I had plenty of time to get to know myself, but it really made me a person who doesn’t talk too much.

I think maybe I’m a bit different of most people, I’m confident with myself and in most cases I’m not afraid if people won’t like me. The thing is that I don’t like to talk about anything just to talk, I will feel good in a conversation if I had a good connection with the another person!
I say it because some people here said they are going to try talking to strangers just to practice talking but I think it is not funny when someone talks negatively with you, you are not obligated to listen to someone’s complaining for example!
I like to talk about good things, I want to feel good with myself all the time, it means enjoy life, enjoy the moment, enjoy the now that happens all the time!
When people talk about their loss or misfortunes it is just remembering you how negative these things are and you might be unconsciously attracting this things to your mind, and I believe Our minds are Our most precious power, a power as big as even we don’t know completely.

So, let’s talk to people, but let’s talk about good things, let’s have positive and constructive conversations that in the end We will feel better, We will feel like we gained something positive from that!

Like what?

m fine but not free

The problem with myself and everyone else on here is the fact that we aren’t thinking for ourselves and realizing that WE ARE in control of our lives. I’ve been practicing this, and its sort of been working..
When talking to someone in a conversation you have to say whats on your mind, your opinion, listen to your thoughts. It’ll cancel out the negative thoughts your having.
And just think, if you say something stupid, you’re not gonna die, thank god for tommorows, you get to start over when ever you want.

I want to learn how to talk , cause i feel people seem doesnt want to talk to me..m i boring ?

hi
im 16 and bout to start college and im scared of meeting people incase they dont like me or think im boring.
Its really difficult for me because my bro and sis have loads of friends and it makes me depressed. I dont know what to say to someone once in a conversation because talking about the weather is abit sad at my age lol. Also im not just going to walk up to a randomer and start chatting. I am gunna join a few clubs though.
I do have a group of close friends and I have had boyfriends but i need to start meeting new people. Sometimes I find it difficult to strike up a convo with ma own family so it scares me meeting new people. I want to be confident but thats just not who I am.

I need to learn damnit!

hello bye
