Don't beat yourself up over it,there's no need to.You're learning new skills,you can't expect to get it perfect right off the bat.It just takes practice is all.
Learning how to communicate is tough stuff when you come from a dysfunctional family and haven't been taught proper social skills.This is something I am trying to improve too,so I understand how hard it is.
There's many books on Amazon to help with it,I have been looking at them trying to decide which one I want.Maybe you could look there or see if there's any sites that would be helpful for you.
Don't give up though.Just because something doesn't work out at first it doesn't mean that it won't.Don't let that wounded child in you hold you back from learning and trying new things.
