Quick answer

To become more interesting to talk to, stop trying to perform an interesting personality. Notice more, learn small things, form honest opinions, collect everyday stories, and share specific details instead of generic summaries.

The goal is not to become a flawless talker. The goal is to make the next ten seconds easier, then the ten seconds after that.
