Hi.
Ok, first off I've never been all that great with friendships. Never was really able to get any friends
. Now that I live at Disney World, I'm having the same difficulty. Well, it's improved, but it's still not getting past the point as my previous friends.
All I've really gotten out of people was a "Hey, how ya doin!", "What have you been up to?", "Seee ya later", etc. Not much "hanging out" going on. I say in the titlee that I think it's mostly me. My communication skillls aren't all that great which, I believe, is a result of the lack of many friends while I was growing up in middle/high school. I had good elementary school years except for the 5th grade where I moved to a new home. I also have ADHD which probably doesn't help my situation.
I watch people sit down and start talking and talking and hold a nice conversation. I can't seem to do that for a while. I'm more of a listener. I enjoy hearing what other people have to say. I don't have much of a sense of humor either. I can't seem to think of any questions or whatever that would continue a conversation. I can't really reflect on my life for related material in a conversation cause most of my life is pretty boring since friends have been hard to come by for me.
How does one learn how to hold a conversation? How can I get better at asking the right questions and talking about something in order hold a better conversation? Is this what is holding me back from making more friends? What can I do to improve myself in the conversaion-holding/humerous area? What should I do?
