How to maintain communication

How does someone always have something to share with their friends or family

Like they always have something to talk about
And won’t be any awkward silent moment

I find it hard to start any topic to friends or family members, even spouse.

How do you guys maintain that communication without awkward silent

These things dont come naturally for some of us. I had to research n read up on how to achieve that. Basically u n the opposite person share about your lives thats past or recent or future. Relate to each other’s topic. Read a about conversation threading. Ask about opinions of recent stuff happening. If run out of things to say then do activities or travelling together then talk about those activities n repeat

I wanna add on by letting you know that its okay if there’s awkward silence. Not every moment has to be filled with conversation, and comfortable silence is a sign of a strong connection too. Some people are naturally more talkative, but that doesn’t mean you have to force yourself to always have something to say. That being said, it helps to say curious about the person you are talking to and ask open-ended questions to them (people love to talk about themselves!) if not you can share small things like simply mentioning a random thought you had or a funny thing you saw.
