I have been working on my communication skills for a long time and seem to be getting people. I don't seem to have a lot to talk about, why? I don't have a career; I do work it is part time and would be trying to start a career later in life (almost 29 yrs old got my degree 4 yrs ago). I don't have many hobbies only the ones from high school, there are some I want to revive and get new hobbies. I don't have a lot of career experience, no travel experience, no college experiences even though i went to college, etc still living at home hoping to transition into full time and move out, want to do a collateral with someone. what is so interesting about me?

I don't really care to talk about the fools who raised me as that isn't even important at my age yet I have to tell people I live with "roommates." Family is a horrible topic for me to talk about nothing but a very dark history/story, what is there to actually say? I think I have mentioned eye contact before, but I look down a lot when I approach someone and with listening skills I seem to be in my own world instead of the hear and now.

I am reading this communication book by Larry King which is good. People don't give me enough time to finish a sentence. When I speak, my lips seem to get sealed shut at certain words to the point the air doesn't get all the way out of my mouth and it looks like I have a speech/stuttering problem. I want to be able to have my own place and host parties/get togethers be social and enjoy life like I used to be able to as a kid getting to know people. I am not sure where I fit in with people, I certainly don't want to be the introvert who whines about life.

I can't seem to keep a conversation going long enough as there seems to be too much pauses between me and the other person. Is it just me or am I reading way too much books on communication skills that is making me crazy?! You know, in jobs, they want you to have good communication skills or excellent communication skills. I need sound better in job interviews than before....
