I wasn’t good at speaking to other people until I made an effort to learn how to do so effectively. I have had the problem from childhood, well before I had SZ. Now I can speak to others, I would just prefer not to.
Book is one way street. But one way it’s good to read books. What if listener becomes the teller in a conversation.
I really want to talk to old people. I think I will visit a old age home soon. I will make it a priority.
Edit : you may say that I should talk to my parents first I have always heard only my parents.
The other day two people visited my home and they said now a days kids kick the parents out of the rented homes. But my parents are taking care of me. I had no words.
