<human>: So, to keep it short, I'm in an LDR with a girl my age. We communicate primarily through Facebook messenger, and my primary problem at the moment is the quality of our conversations. It feels like I am the one driving them completely; the conversations themselves aren't all initiated by me, but her replies are 80% stock phrases, such as 'Eep', 'Whoo', 'Woop', 'Woah', 'Yahh', ':/', 'Lol', in response to things I tell her or ask her. It's like I'm not even having a conversation, just bouncing my words off a fucking brick wall. Occasionally she'll actually talk to me, but the vast majority of the time is this bullshit. It's really annoying me, but I have no idea how to articulate this problem to her without coming off as an asshole; what can I say, other than 'You're being shit at conversation, stop'? She's very, very busy with her new course at the moment, and is working what is essentially a full-time job plus some work at the weekends, but it's not as if I'm sitting here twiddling my damn thumbs with my course. I have shit to get done and I still make the effort.

Essentially, Reddit, my question is this: How to I tell my girlfriend to put more effort into conversation nicely and without sounding like a dick? I have to say something as it is driving me insane... but what??

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Girlfriend only posts stock one word responses to almost all my messages, how do I tell her to put more effort into conversation?
