    If you want to learn to talk to people, start by talking to old people.

    Folks who were around before the internet actually spent a good portion of their lives just making small talk with strangers.

    Next, develop some hobbies/pursuits that involve socializing. Adult league sports teams, or volunteer work, or community theater.

      This won’t work 100% of the time. my dad’s in his 80s and hates talking to people he doesn’t know, thinks everyone’s out to get him so he doesn’t engage with them.
