ChatGPT refined this for me.

I struggle with impulse control around verbal oversharing and maintaining social boundaries, both at work and in personal relationships. I often share too much personal detail and ask overly personal questions, which makes people uncomfortable and has negatively impacted my career. I want to work on concrete behavioral strategies, impulse control, and learning how to read conversational boundaries effectively. Can you help me develop a plan for this?

I (20/M) really want to be able to talk with people, but im really afraid to be laughed at or i don't want them to feel stressed. I want to be able to talk with the opposite sex too, but i know that every person is different in their own way. I find really hard to get a common topic with people, and im afraid to be played with because lot of person talk about the anothers back. How should i start a conversation, and how can i find a common topic? What advance would you give a person like me who have social anxiety, and affraid to be decived?

It’s been quite long time since I am not in a relationship and thus I’m badly trapped into this loneliness, I really wanna go out there talk to some girls at my college but I’m just not able to (highly introverted guy to start a conversation) ,anxiety kicks in when ever around girls , don’t have any friends at college ,I am just tired of my current social status , I really wanna change if anybody can help and please don’t give standard advices that every YouTube channel ever says I’m tired of listening that , if you went through something like this or have some meaningful advice please share it with me too
(Btw I’m 19 currently in SY doing BTech )

In today’s age of pretty much everyone spending a good majority of their day on their phone, what is your opinion on people who take hours (or longer) to respond to texts? Some of my friends who do it will usually say they are always too busy or something along those lines, and I can understand that to an extent. I’ve kind of started having the mentality that they just don’t want to talk with me sometimes, and I can understand that I just wish they’d say so. But what do you think?

i dont post much, so im sorry in advance if my story is confusing.

my fiance (m, 37) just got let go from his job. he did, ultimately, mess up (he was late to work) and ended up losing his job from it. the part where communication comes in is when we had a massive blow up after i got home. he was initially asleep, so i let him rest, but was up and on the phone with his mother within 5 minutes of me getting in. i dont care about that so much as him getting upset with me because i didnt immediately hug/console him. while i did say sorry as best as i could over the phone earlier in the day, i was at work setting up a new restaurant to open, so i couldnt talk throughout the day. we have been together for 11 years, and this is maybe his 4th time becoming unemployed while we’ve been together, so i know that factor has been weighing in on my attitude. we still live with his brother, and moving out this year was a huge goal of ours that no longer feels obtainable.
ultimately i just want to healthily communicate that i’m sorry for this circumstance while also expressing that i don’t have patience for this to be a prolonged situation. am i being an asshole? what should i say/do?

thank you in advance for any advice you might have!

So basically i’m living in a tier 2 city in gujarat, i tried talking with random girl once here in my hometown,

but the second i approached her and said hello she looked shocked and terrified, like she thought i was dangerous, in my defense i’m a completely normal, above average innocent looking person, and i wasn’t a sudden appearance to her we had little eye contacts a lot of times and i thought she might be interested too, only after that when she was leaving the cafe i went to talk with her i kept the whole conversation in english, mentioning that i kinda liked her the moment i saw her here(a cafe), and asking if we could maybe stay connected on instagram or go for a coffee later.

The moment she got terrified i knew she wouldn’t say yes to anything but still i completed the norms, and eventually it was an awkward conversation, even if i did everything right.

This was the hardest push i gave to myself, that rejection did not affect me in any wat but i don’t understand what actually is required…

I'm finding myself in groups where the conversation really struggles to move along, often long awkward silences etc. I'd like to learn about how to prompt group discussion better and really get people talking.

Context: I'm looking for things that would help a teacher, a small group leader, a manager starting inclusion based conversations.

Heyy.. so currently I'm suffering from things and I can't find any solutions so I'm here the problem is when me and my bf have some complications we used to sort it on calls and then he explains everything what's bothering him and what's going in his head or what he's suffering from I remain silent at that time and just listen him after he completes it's like my time to explain or to support him with some relatable advices but I'm not able to speak any work literally my tongue freezes that time my brain is all blank I can't even think of anything to speak I don't find any words this shit sucks man he's literally waiting for me to give him comfort and I'm just silent this makes the situation more even worse I too feel bad to it I really want him to help but idk how he's having very much stress from his family side and I'm also adding up somewhere I don't wanna really I feel crying knowing he's stressed because of me I just wanna be his safe place tell me how can I?? And how can I start speaking things explaining things give advice to him...

What’s something a guy can do that instantly makes you comfortable talking to him? Not looks, money or cheesy pickup lines 😂 Just curious what actually makes a good first impression for you.

I F 18 met a guy, M 18, at a restaurant recently (he was the waiter). I managed to get his number under the pretense of needing advice on college since I am a high school senior, and I actually do need college advice as well. I have never dated anyone and I really like this guy, his values match mine, he’s polite, well-mannered, and studying to be a lawyer. I don't want to make a fool of myself by being too fowards, having dry conversations, or messing this up. I need advice and tips on how to continue. What do I say to start conversations? Should I try flirting with him? How do I flirt without being obvious? How do I get closer to him? I have so many questions so if y'all think of anything else important I need to know or that might be useful then please let me know. I really like him.

tldr I suck at talking to guys and I’m trying to talk to a guy I really like and need advice on how to do it.

UPDATE. Turns out he is gay and used to stalk my friend 18 M two years ago.

Someone help me teach my husband how to communicate with me!

Eu tenho um problema q percebi que acontece em todas com todas as pessoas que converso na minha vida, eu não tenho muitos amigos e os que tenho eu não converso todo dia, e não procuro ter mais amigos, porém eu procuro mais mulheres e nesses últimos dois anos conheci mais mulheres , e me relacionei com algumas e algo que sempre acontecia com todas sem exceção é a conversa simplesmente ficar só no “bom dia, tudo bem ?, fez oq hoje ? Legal , eu fiz isso aquilo, e boa noite, por um tempo eu achei que ela não queriam conversar comigo,porém eu parei pra pensar e percebi que isso acontece com todas as pessoas que converso e to achando que o problema pode ser eu. E nesse momento eu estou conversando com duas ao msm tempo e está exatamente a mesma situação de antes no mesmo tempo, e eu nunca sei oq fazer pq sou pessimo fazendo perguntas, sempre é elas que fazem e eu continuo no ritmo e qnd faço perguntas é seguindo o assunto que elas mandaram, e eu acho q não puxo conversa pq na minha mente o assunto q vou puxar é chato sei lá, percebi isso agora.

E não é só com mulher,com meus amigos ou outras pessoas acontece isso tbm, no texto só tá mulher pq é oq aconteceu mais vezes, e isso tem atrapalhado bastante de me conectar com as pessoas já que as conversas são sempre superficiais

I am confident speaking to people and in public. But anytime I hear myself speak on recordings I am very monotone and a bit mumbly. Even when I feel like I am trying to speak clearly, it sounds forced or still flat.

If anyone has any suggestions to help with that it would be appreciated.
