I really wish I was better at giving advice/talking to people

So many times I seem to not be able to think of good, worthy things to say. Some people are really good.

I've spent a lot of time counseling people, and I usually don't give advice. I try to help the person discover what needs to be done. Then they are more likely to do it.

I suppose I often just wish that I could say something, let alone something good! My mind just often goes blank when people are talking about personal issues, I’m so awkward! @exexec

@Strongtea Just show you care. Sometimes a pat on the back says more than words.

Ok, thankyou. 😊@exexec

Read, study, travel, do interesting things. Learn about the world around you. And if all else fails, ask them about themselves. Most people love to talk about themselves. 😉

That’s because a lot of us are dinosaurs and you’re a puppy..😂😂😂 it will come.

Yes, I suppose I have a lot to learn @Primnproper

@Strongtea not learn it’s just life experiences…you will just expand your horizons naturally as time goes on.

Then lie

Strongtea · 22-25, M

I’m not very good at lying either, I always panic and tell the truth!@HumanEarth

@Strongtea Then you tell what you know. Don't be shy. You're going to be dealing with people your whole life.

Better learn to put down the screens and cellphones and confront people face to face.

Talking face to face with builds self confidence. Which is something I can tell you lack in.

Strongtea · 22-25, M

You’re very right! My self confidence is pretty low. Thanks, you’ve hit on some interesting points.@HumanEarth
