Actively try to listen more then talk. Even if something that comes up in the conversation pertains to you, try to hold off as much as possible.

Do you have an actual therapist?

Nope, I am not able to afford it, and I have never heard that in my country university could provide any.

That was my strategy, in fact. Asking questions related to what they're speaking about, engage if possible, holding off, be interested or pretending to be interested, but most of the time nothing but pressure comes up, for me. It might be explained that I am trying to connect with not that compatible people, or they are unwilling to contact, etc. however, it does depend on my mood.

Any tips?

I was in a similar situation a few years ago, I noticed I was in general pretty rude. Started thinking about things I say after I say them all the time, and what I didn't say. For example I noticed that when people asked "how are you?" I'd just say "good" and not ask how they were. After that I started making a conscious effort to always ask in return aswell. Apply this to anything and everything. Try to find what is wrong with you, and fix it.

It's hard to change habits some times, but it's worth it in the end. Even if your problems are different, I feel like this method could do some good for you too.
