get better at it over time? I'm 49.
still haven't figured it out. I know what you mean though. while there will always be people to whom conversation comes easy (or at least seems to), I agree that its something if practiced, you will get better at. I have very limited opportunities in my normal life. I work from home - all interactions are over the phone (and I HATE HATE HATE phones - I'd rather talk to someone in person - I have a phonbia) and I have no actual interaction with people in person except occasionally some of my wife's friends from the neighborhood when we are socializing. Of course, when that social event is over, I'm left scrutinizing my behavior and worrying if how I behaved was OK. Which of course it most likely was completely normal but that knowledge does not stop me from replaying everything.
