That might help you connect with people a little bit better without having to say a whole lot. Also, maybe find light and fun topics of conversation you know you can be comfortable with and stick to those areas when you meet people. I hate it when people ask probing, personal questions so I keep to certain topics and steer away from others.

Yeah that is true. All good ideas of making yourself more approachable without interjecting. I do smile but I can try some of the other ways you mentioned too. I should tell my friend the same thing since she tends to interject herself which somewhat annoys other people. And she isn’t even aware of it which isn’t good. One thing about being an outsider is that you can notice things more than someone else who may be trying to have a conversation.
