do u know anything that helps?

idkk practice holding brief and casual interactions with retail workers and use the FORD method (family, occupation, recreation, dreams) to easily sustain small talk (search it up on ytb)
also focus on active listening by repeating back the last few words people say to keep them comfortably sharing

Step 1. Film yourself on your phone talking to yourself and then replay it to watch yourself to see your voice, tonality, body language. Watch it sometimes with no audio and sometimes with no video.
Step 2. Go out into social settings where you are talking to people, and keep part of your mental energy to pay attention to how they react to you.
Step 3. spend some time thinking about step 2 and watch reels, read blogs and books, chat with AI on how to talk to people
Repeat these steps for a year and you will transform yourself
