I am trying to make more friends and I keep hearing that one of the ways to get people to like you is to make them talk about themselves and retain the information to bring it up later. This works with 10% of the people I have met and became friends with. However the other 90% tries to shut down the conversation as fast as possible. I am in uni right now and it is a relatively hard school at least for me. It is very hard to make friends I have already gone to all the clubs that I like and made a few friends there but not many all I have left is to try to talk to people in my major building and I was able to make some friends but I want to make more. I can’t ever find a person who is just chilling they are always working on something so an opportunity to talk never comes up and when it does they try to shut it down as fast as possible. I ask open ended questions about them and they somehow keep it brief or give one word answers. I feel like there is something wrong with me or my approach any advice?
