Conversations just happen. From my experience anyway. I think it does take a bit of force. You have to want to get up and get out. It is easier if you're a part of a conversation that interests your interests.

I found out I distract myself way too often. And most of what is said is missed. I am not sure how to un-distract myself yet.

^I think there again, you have to make an effort/force yourself to listen to someone-become a good listener. I find it hard to balance between listening and then talking about myself because usually people are more than happy to talk about themselves when you invite them to and show interest, so it's easy to just get forgotten by the other. I really enjoy a good exchange of 50/50 listening and talking but very few people do this. It's nice when they do though. You have to be active basically or you will get left behind.

All right. I get kind of annoyed by slight ticking noises. Consistent ones and must find them out. If I am to force my way into listening I am not really listening am I?

Maybe the idea is on focus. And my focus is way off. Or is focusing a way of forcing?

Why are there always circles? So it would appear force is the answer, then.

I have negative vibe too when talking to most people. Especially if someone has a good vibe it's like they can't feel it but others can in a way... i guess

Some things I'm trying: Talking to people in stores (clerks as well as customers). Calling friends up just to chat (have tried this once so far...it went well, but I'm not eager to do it again!). Making conversation with people at work that I wouldn't normally talk to. I'm even thinking of inviting one of them out to lunch, where there will be yet more conversing I hope. Sadly, I am not even comfortable talking to my own siblings. I'm working up to that. I can't envision it going well.
