Whenever I see my flatmates conversation is always so brief. I just do it to be polite, stuff like “how are you doing?” “How’ve you been?” And ask about plans and stuff.
I must also add they never initiate with me. Like why is this?
I also have a similar situation whenever I go out and try to meet new people. I try to ask them questions about themselves and try to get to know them just to get brief answers and barely any back and forth.
Do I just keep having bad luck with the people I’ve interacted with?
Or am I doing something wrong?
