Ive decided to improve my communication skills, since that's what's lacking but I'm not sure how to go about it.

25M HEY! So It's been a long time coming, I've been couped up in my room all day long for many years talking very less verbal english I kinda forgot how to actually talk to people without coming off as boring, I do speak with friends but it's not the same as talking to strangers in the context of meeting new people or making new friends.

When you talk to strangers there's more to it, the uncertainty and efforts to keep up with the communication so that it dosnt die off.

Communication doesn't have to be genuine as long as we hit it off to keep going further ( as friends mainly ) once we are comfortable words will come out smoothly.

It's not like I'm not confident it's just the art of verbal communication is what I'm lacking in and want to improve on it. Any suggestions? Any place / references that I should look into?

Thank you!
