Paisley said:Maybe my original post was a little hard to digest. I'll try again.
I try to converse with people, but often get a string of one-word or one-sentence answers. Does anyone else have this experience?
I admit I'm not a great conversationalist (I'm naturally taciturn) but I'm working on it. Any tips?
We posted at the same time, LadyStardust. I feel the same way: there's a difference between chatter and conversation.
I can completely relate to this. I refer to it as "people NOT bouncing the ball back in conversation" We had a little social event Saturday afternoon and one of the neighbors came by and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get to know her a little better. Every question I asked I got a one sentence or work reply and no return questions. It is very annoying.
