The CA Reddit forum reposted this one from 2019:
#1168 and #1169: Friendship, Conversation, and TAKING TURNS
Learning how to take turns in conversation was one of the really important things for me, growing up. I don’t think anyone explicitly taught it to me, but especially after I got over my childhood “just never talk to strangers, ever” dealie, it helped to realize that other people like to talk about themselves, too! Even if you yourself don’t care about the other person (like if they’re a store clerk or whatever) it’s still a kind and pro-social thing to ask them about themselves.
But not to excess. And not everyone appreciates it.
But it’s as good a starting place as any. Refine your technique from there.
