Hi. I also feel that my social interaction has gotten better as I have gotten older. Maybe it's just life experience, I don't know. But I definitely have gotten better at it. I just ask a lot of questions and get them talking.
It's a bit of an act, but a genuine act or something if that makes sense. I am 'on' in social situations. But I only present the safe 'me'. The one I am POSITIVE (mostly) will not offend anyone or be inappropriate. It is exhausting. And I work hard at it. I am an extrovert and I do get something out of the interaction. I like making people feel like they matter, so I get that benefit- often times.
