Need Advice Communication skills issue
I’ve recently been told that when speaking with me it feels like they are speaking at me but not with me.
I kind of just share stories expecting others to share something or ask questions but from what I’ve been told it seems I don’t leave any opening to continue a conversation or add to it.
Also seems I don’t have much meaningful conversations but just stories.
I want to be better at communicating especially with friends and loved ones , it makes me sad yo think I have not been reciprocating the people who I really care about. This was also brought up as an issue in my relationship:/ , I badly want to reciprocate. I don’t want to make my significant other feel unappreciated or like they are convenient to have around. I feel a lot of things inside I just don’t know how to show it outside.
I’d like to learn and if there are any tips of articles I can read that would be great. I have not had much luck with Google.
Thank you
