I am terrible at finding that ratio of when to talk and when to listen. I have the problem where my other mental issues prevent me from having significant social filters so I'll just stammer on and on and on and on and on. I'm really not very good in social situations at all. I worked at a grocery store on the front end mostly because I wanted the experience of making small talk again and again with random strangers. Which while it definitely improved my conversational skills. I still struggle with having conversations with anybody that I don't already know intimately. Even then I still say stupid things or just stammer till I'v nothing more to say.
