our family moved to the united states about four years ago. both of my parents cannot speak english at all, but i have managed to catch up with the language pretty quickly and squeeze myself into the top 5% of my high school.
i used to be a funny, happy teenager who loved to meet new people, yet recently i have discovered that i have very poor socializing skills in the united states. i have noticed the complete lack of social vocabulary in myself. whenever i was ask to speak, i would turn the discussion into a very serious and boring monologue. i reckon the problem is probably cause by the diction i use in my conversation.
i would love to get into small chats with other people, but i could never accomplish them. my conversation always ended up in an awkward silences. if i were ever to be invited to the Jay Leno show, the program would probably get terminated right away.
i am very troubled and frustrated. can someone please delight me and help me improve my social skills?
