Yes its possible. I've personally done it. But it can be quite tiring to use said skill.

I personally recommend this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Drop-Pink-Elephant-Ways-What/dp/1841126373.

It was my ENFJ sister's book, and she's arguably the best at social in my family (too good in fact, why the hell is that? So unfair. lol.)

Also latch on to people groups and learn to feel the atmosphere.

Hey,

I love to talk but it wasn't always this way. I would highly recommend just practicing. I have found the following books to be really useful aids in my learning to be a better conversationalist:

  • How to talk to anyone
  • Drop the pink elephant
  • How to win friends and influence people

    Here are some really basic tips for getting people to talk.

  • Ask 'How do you spend most of your time' rather than asking about work / hobbies. They will tell you what really interests them.

  • If you're stuck how to follow up on an answer, just repeat the last bit. For example - Them: 'O, I love making songs in my spare time' - You : 'Songs?'. They will then tell you all the songs and you can follow this up in more detail.

  • Don't go on a date without having read the news. Know whats happening in the world. No one likes to talk about the weather, so make sure you've got your fallback.


    As for you last point about 'I actually don't know what to bring up to even trigger a question about myself.'. There is a great quote :

    > “No man would listen to you talk if he didn't know it was his turn next.”

    You should get away from this notion. I try to not talk too much about myself, you want to show interest in them rather than trying to impress them with yourself. They will naturally ask you questions when they think of them, try not to focus on steering the conversion to a interest of yours. Another big point is, if you find a common interest, don't let them know instantly with a 'ME TO!'. Keep quiet, ask them about it and at some point drop a few subtle hints that you know of the subject. They will be much more impressed that you share an interest but don't feel compelled to scream it instantly.

    I hope this helps a little :)
