how to have a conversation?

Ask people about themselves, they love talking about themselves. But don't make it an interrogation! How do you do this? No idea.

I'm good at opening conversations but sometimes it's the little "oh! OK!  Ah right!" bits I struggle with and tone of voice for this. And then when it comes to my turn, sometimes I can't think of anything to say. It depends who it's with, what we are talking about,  how much I know them, what context and how much I'm genuinely interested in what they have to say.

I struggle with getting away from people who talk too much. Any help would be appreciated.

LOL there is little help from getting away from people who talk too much. If they're ADHD and you're Autistic, they tend to hunt you down and become your bestie in seconds. I've learned to just enjoy the fact that they like being in my company hahaha. There's some strange magnetic something. 

I'm not having that!! I need to be able to get away! It's usually things like telling me things I'm not interested in when I haven't asked or I was doing so out of politeness. I'm learning not to ask. But they still tell me anyway! It's usually when I've got things to do in work, or I want to be left alone. (Not when I actually want a conversation).
