I am someone who likes to do kind things for people. But when people thank me, and I say, "you're welcome", it seems like people want me to say something more. I am not sure if it's a conversation or an explanation, and I am not sure if the things I do require more than just a "thank you" or a "you're welcome"...for example, with my neighbors, I baked them cookies today and my neighbor called me and I just wasn't sure my best response was "you're welcome" and I said I thought it would be a good rainy day activity and thought the kids would love it, and it just felt like the conversation kept going until it got really awkward.

I have a lot of trouble with social cues, so maybe he just wanted a conversation. But it happens so often with other people that it feels like they expect something more than "you're welcome".

What are your thoughts?
