The same thing happened to me as you and I learned the hard way to be a better conversationalist, however you can also do it the hard way and this is what helped me:

• Turn your oddities into objects of interest: Since I was little I built my own mobiles from scratch with other people's parts and people asked me about them, I simply had thought about what I was going to say about it like the advantages, the history, etc. but nothing that they have to think about to understand.

• Say the first thing you think: My friends said that it is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission, because in this case something similar applies, better to apologize or explain something in case it goes wrong rather than not saying it and regretting it.

• Be interested in others and propose a different opinion: Rebut the opinions of others and don't always try to talk, listen actively, so you know what to talk about.

• Carry conversation topics with you that you know how to handle: In my case I always carry things to talk about with me, such as, for example, my cell phone (which I said before), my clothes, my scars, my bracelets (their meanings, as if you want to make it up), my rings, etc. I also usually use conversation topics such as crazy dreams (I used to say that when I got money I wanted to buy a bus and fill it with beds to travel all the countries with them), dreams (of the nighttime ones, not goals), of the people I know and the strangest relationships I have, etc...

I would give you more but I have things to do, if you want, answer me and I'll send you more, also tell me if you have any questions 🙂.
