I have noticed that I am quite a self centered person, and this bothers me. Being social, caring about others and investing in a friendship are things I really value in other people, yet I fail to be like that myself.

When someone asks me how I am, how my weekend was, or how my job is I am fine telling people about it, but I always 'forget' to ask them about their day. I mention forget, because I always realise later that I haven't asked.

How can I improve this? My friendships never last long and they are hardly ever the person to initiate a conversation or meetup.

Is it ok to ask again later in the conversation? How can I 'train' myself to be better at this?
