My two cents is to practice what was described in the post above, and then do a personal postmortem analysis after-the-fact of how you did.

Also to try and adopt an observational, almost anthropological attitude when interacting with other people. Observe their behavior, observe how it makes you feel, what your body language is, and then observe their responses to your own words and changes in behavior / body language.

Like any skill it takes practice. And just because a skill comes harder to some than others doesn’t mean it can’t be meaningfully improves through practice.
