That's terribly vague. Any particular examples?

Is she always so hostile? Have you a bad relationship?

I honestly am not getting much out of you, you seem to lack conversational skills.

You can't just offer little snippets to people on a subject that requires a whole lot more. Perhaps if you had a think about what makes you want to talk to people and waht keeps conversation flowing you might be on to something.

I am sorry. just to rephrase everything.. my mom has a very strong principle and at the same time very friendly however i find it very difficult to communicate with her.. she will normally just give me a one answer reply and i do not know how to carry on from there.. I dont know does the problem lies with me or with her but yea.. Normally I will talk about anything with my friends but it becomes difficult when it comes to talking with my mom.

I am 20 this year. I have been away from home for around 6yrs without seeing her or talking to her. I just got back to staying with the family and I can get along with everybody else except her

Much better.

Is she a happy person? If she's not very conversational perhaps that's just who she is. Has it always been this way?

Maybe, if she has, you could just learn to live with how she is. Or talk to her about it, she's your mum and she'd want to hear that you were thinking about her.

Gosh, you left her at 14? why?

This could have an awful lot to do with it.

I left her at 14 because they decided to send me overseas for studies.. I feel bad not being able to talk to her or continue a conversation with her... I see my brothers being able to do that but I just cant
