I had a business trip with someone who very easily started talking to strangers, but he wasn't even a very fast or smooth talker, but he felt very agreeable when communicating.
Back then I felt jealous of that trait. I said to myself I want to be like that, just be able to do smaltalk with strangers.
And I simply tried, within weeks I was able to do just that, even with people much prettier or confident than me, and I never looked back.
Over time a feel i need to hold myself back even. Often I have to say to myself: there's no point starting a talk now other than my own feeling good about it, so I hold it in.
