Another one-

When you're at something social in a large group setting and done talking to someone you don't have to let it linger and get all awkward.

You can just say "hey this was a nice chat! I'm going to go talk to other people now!"

It's that simple. And that's a totally normal way to end a conversation that people will react well to and appreciate. You can jazz it up "eg let's do this again/how can I contact you/" but the basics don't change.

I used to over think everything to the point of paralysis and get real awkward and anxious. Now I just communicate what I want directly but politely and it works out much better.
