How to keep a conversation going for hours?

Until 3 months ago i (18M) was very lonely and kind of anti-social, never really had too many friends and barely talked to people. That being said i was genuinely ok with that, there was no depression or anxiety and i accepted that i was like that. This changed when i was playing a game through Steam and after the match a profile with the photo of a girl (21F) sent me a friend request, i checked the profile thinking it was propably a fake, but for my surprise it wasn't.

Turns out whe live in the same city (30 to 35 mins away from each other but still), and being friendless like i was i got very attached to her, she invited me to her discord server and we became friends. Before meeting her i was kind of afraid of starting conversations with people and showing my face, this changed a bit because i now try to start conversations with her when she goes online on discord and even started sending some snapchats to her sometimes.

A few weeks after she met another guy (19M) who is much more social than me, and she started to spend much more time with him. Today i learned that yesterday she stayed up until 4 am texting with him, she said it was about live and everything, like for me its already hard to start conversations and keep them going so imagine talking like this for hours and hours. Still trying to figure out what they were talking about and how can i do the same thing.

I am trying to message her more throughtout the day but its kind of hard to do this without feeling repetitive. The thing about them talking until 4 am is what really bugged, any thoughts on that?

She is chill about receiving messages and even wants me to do it more.

​

TL;DR: My brain fails to see how can 2 people can keep talking through message until 4 AM about life and everything. How this happens and how to do it?

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
