Communication problems…

I am a TCK and have always had communication problems with people. It’s actually not about the classic “people don’t care about what I did in the past kind of problem”. When two people communicate, person B needs to be able to bring feedback to what person A says, otherwise the communication can not be effective and no friendship can be formed.

    hey anonymous, I'm not sure if you managed to finish your post, but I think I know how you feel.

    Sometimes people from my home country say things about their own culture (example: popular TV shows that I don't watch) and I just feel like I have **nothing** to say.
    And I've also experienced the situation where I say something (apparently) normal (to me only!) and they have that blank stare of "I have no idea what you're talking about". In these situations I usually quickly change the subject.

    Good luck and I hope you come back if you need more help!
