Ok. I am in sales. I have a funny personality. I tend to talk a lot, sometimes too much. In fact, sometimes people laugh at me for rambling and they tell me to stop talking (usually in joking, I don't think they are really annoyed). But here is the thing. Sometimes I have no idea what to talk about> Sometimes I don't know how to start a conversation or to talk about myself. It is weird and I don't know if I just feel this way alone or what, because I dont' think others perceive me this way. I guess I think I am boring or something or I just don't think my stuff is important. Case in point. I have been "friends" with a guy for about 3 months, and I could talk to him for hours when I was just getting to know him. But I feel like the everyday stuff- he doesn't care about on my end. Which is really dumb because he ASKS me but maybe it is my perception or maybe it is because my ex wouldn't have any emotional reactions to me in our conversations. I don't know. Or maybe, this friend doesn't care and I am right. I don't know. I just feel like he is maybe not listening completely but then I think I am paranoid. So then I don't feel like talking about me, because I don't think it matters. I know, now I am rambling. Does anyone have any thoughts ?? I just feel nervous or anxious sometimes like I don't know what to say- but it isn't just with this person, it is with others too. Do I make any sense??

I think this is normal. Most people like to talk about themselves, it's easier. Ask the other person more questions to get them talking about themselves and your conversations will surely blossom.

My ex could talk anyone's ears off, but when it came to discussing serious issues, tight as a clam. She was fully aware of this and still couldn't change it.

Also it is entirely possible that he simply doesn't care. I have friends that do the same. Still good friends, just sometimes they could care less.
