i’m coming off of being a total recluse in my teenage years and am trying to build a social life for myself.
i’ve noticed that whenever i talk to people i end up mostly talking about myself. somebody asks me how i’ve been and i can spill my whole life to them but when i reciprocate asking how they are i don’t usually get much in response.
i’m looking for more thoughtful questions that i can be asking people in order for them to start engaging with me. (in a totally not creepy way) I want to know more about the lives of people around me and become more than just a coworker or a former classmate. I’m trying to build a connection with people but I just don’t know how to do it.
