I think it’s a skill that’s possible to get better at, but getting better at it requires some misery (trying, failing, being uncomfortable, making social mistakes) Being able to read the social situation is a prerequisite so if you’re truly good at that then it’s possible to improve. I think it’s a mixture of taking a genuine interest in other people, being good at story telling, and being able to gauge the interest of others in what you’re talking about. There’s also a lot to good delivery (part of good story telling) - watching good stand up comedy you can see this in action. It also helps to be doing or learning things that make for good story telling too.
