Conversation to myself10/7/2023 A friend of mine agreed that it's true people know practically nothing about me, but that I'm over-thinking it, and that most people aren't even aware they don't know a thing about me, but she's missing the point slightly. I don't intentionally avoid talking about myself, but I know I have trust issues with people and that colors my interactions. I know I have walls-it's something I'm working on-but I don't know how to really converse more openly. I suspect the reason for this is that I project some kind of closed-off vibe to people. I've only had balanced conversations with people who have a very particular personality type, which is often assertive and highly extroverted. I'll talk to someone for days and know how old they are, where they went to school, what they do, whether they're single, dating, or married, and there opinions on any number of things, and yet they don't even know the simplest fact about me, like where I live, or who I live with. If I stop, the conversation stops, and people never make any attempt to keep things going. With me, conversations just don't happen unless I adopt a kind of "interview" style of conversation. Conversations are always one-sided, where I ask questions and make them laugh, but there is little to no reciprocation with most people. Recently I've been working on improving my conversational skills and actually making some real relationships, but I've been noticing this pattern for about a year with my conversations: no one ever asks me anything about myself.
