Hi all

This is my second time writing a thread on this forum but I need some help and I am hoping that someone can aide me with this. I am having a pretty tough time communicating with my boyfriend. He is incredibly quiet and usually doesn't talk much, I am usually the one who is always spearheading conversations and I am fine with that, I talked with him at another point because he would like to express stuff on facebook but never talk about it with me and I told him that made me feel left out, he apologized and said that he would really try to start talking more about his day-to-day. However we usually talk for a bit every night( I only get to see him twice a week) and the last time I was talking to him, I was trying to talk with him about cars because it's his passion and he has told me before that when he starts talking about them he doesn't stop. All I got was one word answers and then he after told me to change the subject because it was bugging him to talk about himself so much. The truth is, is that I really was never great making conversations, I have had to read countless books etc. just to up my game and so far it has worked but one of the main things they teach is to talk about is the other person. I don't want to annoy him again but I really don't know what else to say, plus he never asks me questions or try's to make conversation so I don't really know what to do... I know this is very long but please help, to be honest I think me and him talking makes him annoyed at me and I really don't know what to do...

Thanks for reading!
