I don’t know how to talk to my best friend.

She’s always telling me that I need to talk to her more. She says that when I don’t talk to her on my own (meaning without her talking to me first) she feels like I don’t need her and its like she’s just there. I understand how much it hurts her and want to make things better, but I don’t know how. I don’t know what to talk about and she says that she can’t tell me. I don’t understand. Can anyone help? Can anyone give me advice on how to talk to my best friend (that sounds weird)

How about what best friends talk about. Like you could try and make her laugh, this always works with me. Also try asking her ‘How are you doing?’

Maybe you could talk about a time something funny that happened.
