Social Interactions-learning to talk to people

i've been so wrapped up in my own problems lately that i've barely given a single thought about anything or anyone else..and for that i'm sorry..but sometimes i find it hard to read people..like i don't really know how they are feeling because they hide it well or i can't tell when something is wrong..then again, i look at myself and i realize those who are most close to me barely know the beginnings of how i'm feeling sometimes..we just assume others will notice that we are upset or sad..

so maybe we could all just take a couple mintues to talk amongst ourselves..share your feelings with others and extress yourself..listen to others..take an extra second when you're talking to someone and really ask how they are..not just the casual what's up..but if you do, maybe follow up on a question or two..tune into the thoughts of others.. but i know that when everyone has their own things to worry about, that's hard to do..

then on the other hand, some people (i suppose including myself) find it hard to just tell some random person or even an acquaitance how i feel..so i can understand the difficulty in confiding in someone your person thoughts and problems..so i don't know if there is any real solution to this..it's just something i've been thinking about..
