Just as the Title says, i really suck at buuilding conversation, i’ve had a crush on this girl for 2 years now and i was talking with her (5 minutes ago, she’s also a communist and is awesome) and i literally ran away after 5 minutes because i’ve felt like i’ve had nothing better to say. Fuck my life, did make her agree to watch Doctor Who and One Piece together though ( Not a date, just really want to be friends with her and not ruin this friendship at all). Anyway, what am i supposed to do to get better at holding conversations though ??

    Probable friends I think, it’s not really a problem with friends, I am able to hold conversations for long. Idk dude, I’ve never felt this low about my social skills before, I am great in group settings but not in 1v1s

          And it wasn’t that awkward before even with this person? You said, that you want to become friends. Could it be, that there is possibly a slight contradiction regarding what you want and what you feel?

          But however it is, why makes it you think about it that much? You agreed to watch a TV series and an anime together. Sounds like everything went well, don’t you think?

            I guess so, and yes, there’s some contradiction but it’s almost impossible to find other left leaning people here let alone communists, i don’t want to ruin that friendship

              Maybe don’t think that much about it. Just enjoy the time with your comrade. Friendship can develop between comrades but also can relationships. Watching films together can develop in each of those things. But don’t force yourself into a certain thinking. Don’t think “only friendship, nothing else”, this makes you nervous and also act more awkward.

              Just look forward to watch great series, movies and animes. And I also can recommendate two films: Sibirade and How the steel was tempered. The later one is great to watch together, a great soviet movie and will also maybe your problem - In won’t spoiler. And it is also a great way to have a great talk about the Russian revolution.
