I struggle with talking with my boyfriends parents and we've been together for two and half years. I don't think it's fair for your ex to say she thinks you think your better than ppl so you don't talk. I know two months if your quiet to begin with can make it hard for one to know you, and it to me sounds like two months wasn't enough to get to know you. I agree with gma, you are you. And trying to talk small talk it's hard i know but some times it's baby steps for example my boyfriends parents have a garden that they work on all the time. This lart summer they put tomatoes in, i asked his dad a dumb question are those tomatoes lol and we ended up going out and looking at all the different ones that they were growing and talked about the other plants and all it was nerve racking for me but it was also nice my boyfriend for the record knows i'm shy and i have a bag issue with letting ppl in, he knows my history and i've shared my fears with him on getting to know ppl cuz i'll lose them. He's not pushy with it he jokes that he hopes in ten years i'm still so quiet around them i think his parents have picked up on my shyness too cuz more so now days they start the conversation with small little things like how's work then talk about the game if one is on talking takes time especiallx if your not use to it or afraid with offending or wanting approval. I don't really have advice i'm sorry but i just read your post and wanted you to know i relate and over time with some ppl is just what it takes to strike up conversations
I know in the past for me atleast i have felt liberated to strike up a conversation with someone. I may be in a jolly mood but still it can be nice even if i fumble on my words at the begining
