I grew up in a small village and didn't go to school. I was home schooled by tutors. I have only ever had one friend and now that I can do what I like. I'm just so quiet because I dont have anything to talk about. Most people thesedays just talk about their personal lives but I have nothing to talk about as I dont have any sibs or anyone to talk to talk about. It's just been me and my mum ever since I can remember. I want to be funny and interesting like other people (people like yourself). I find it hard to interact with people and feel like no one understands me. Can anyone suggest anything as I don't even know where to start. I'm nearly 18.

Well, first off, it is never too late to start. And second, you are definitely not the only one who has these feelings. One thing to remember is that there is no real conversation structure for you to follow. You don't have to talk about siblings, or anything else for that matter. You have to know that you can say whatever you want to. You will be surprised how people accept what you are saying and extend the conversation simply because you are making an effort to communicate with them. Hopefully this helps relieve some of the pressure you are feeling, because when you feel that pressure, it makes it twice as hard to interact and almost impossible to be funny.
You are funny. Everyone is in one way or another. If people haven't realized it yet, it is because they haven't seen that side of you because you are trying to hard. Just relax and be yourself, everything else will come together for you.

Humor is an inherited trait. Of course, you might be funny and you just don't know it yet. You should focus on life around you. Most people find humor in what is wrong with this world. When I talk to people, 9 times out of 10, it's about what is messed up with this world. You will find that preperation is not needed in your case. You need to work on communication and the funny part will come along with that. Thank you and good luck.

First, ask people about themselves. Do they have kids are they married do they like this or that. Any question about them self because people love to talk about there selves.Then watch a lot of comedy movies etc. and use some of the jokes they use or come up with your own from what you watched that makes people laugh.

You probably should go away to go to college. Start socializing with people. Just talk about your experiences of staying at home. Just be yourself and be outgoing. The more you do, the more experiences you'll have to talk about.

thats a good serious question for a change. simply speak about that particular problem to others and the conversation will broaden
