Also a lot of social dialogue is far from essential. And NTs mostly forget what was said. It only matters where some critical opinion or reaction needs to be imparted.
You'll probably find an individual instance where you didn't reply fully or meaningfully has been forgotten, though they might register if you do this a lot, that you aren't good at it. But they are only going to be concerned if your input was important.
I try to smile a lot, and do a lot of nodding. OK it can be unlucky if the conversation turns to bereavement, or someone seriously ill or someone who has lost their job. I just have to hope I pick up on that at some point down the line, so I can correct myself.
But most of the time you don't actually need to give a full reply. Some NTs grunt and ermm a lot, as a form of demurment, showing they understand. They are just taken as being not very talkative.
