Hello, I'm 21F and a medical student, and I feel like my communication skills are really bad.
I'm not an introvert or an extrovert. I'm somewhere in the middle. I can talk to people, but I don't know how to keep a conversation going.
I can say things like "Hi "How are you?" or "What's up?" but after that I don't know what to talk about. My mind just goes blank.
I see other people making friends easily and talking for hours, while I struggle to have a normal conversation. Because of this, I feel awkward socially and find it hard to connect with people.
Since I'm in medical college, and good communication skills are important, and I want to improve.
Has anyone else dealt with this? How did you get better at talking to people and being more social? #relationships source
