1. Talk less, listen more.

2. In the listening, include listening to yourself. Do you repeat yourself (verbatim, or patterns) in ways that will quickly or eventually bore those you talk with?

3. Engage in low-stakes interactions. Join a softball team or running group or work at a dinner program, so that you are around other people but the focus is not about being around other people.

Anyway, that's how it looks to me.
