talk to me vs talk with me

Both 'talk to me' and 'talk with me' are commonly used phrases in English, but there is a slight difference in the dynamic they describe. 'Talk to me' implies a one-way communication where one person is speaking to the other, while 'talk with me' suggests a more interactive conversation with both parties participating.
