I love the idea of getting better at one thing to use those skills on another, so here's what I've been doing to help me at both:

-Improv classes (like Who's Line Is it Anyway?) - gets you thinking on your feet, thinking about spontaneous thoughts, gets you to be able to act without hesitation with confidence, and teaches you to be more observant.

-Open mic/stand up comedy- Boosts confidence, many people fear public speaking.

-Movies. Watch their body language and think carefully about fluctuations in the characters' voices. Foreshadowing is often very common in movies, try to watch out of things before they happen.

-Social interaction with friends. You could just "autopilot" and just focus on yourself, or you can focus on listening very intently, focus on thinking about "What is my friend thinking about? How can I customize my actions and words for their benefit? I may want to talk about or do X, but what do they want to do and how can I help make that happen?" You can also just focus on a single thing, like "enthusiasm" - channel your energy to being a bit more enthuasistic and chipper than usual - or it could be trust (to get them to open up), empathy or anything really.

-Cold showers. You can start warm, but switch it to cold. That discomfort is pretty annoying and it gets a bit easier to deal with each time. It's about intentionally pursuing a bit of discomfort, and it's healthy for you too I've heard (closes your pours, builds up your resistance to cold).

-Dieting. Teaches restraint. Very important in conversation to be open and honest but also being able to realize what you could say but doesn't benefit the other person. Now you might have really deep inner thoughts and sure you can share those, but the idea is to be intentional about what you do and don't say, rather than just "doing whatever" or "saying whatever." Most people have a filter which is just "I will say what is appropriate and I will not say what is inappropriate" but the idea here is to have a diagnostic based on the person you're talking to and refine it based on them.

-Writing. Could be fiction, could be an autobiography or even a diary. I've found that writing helps a ton with de-compressing my thoughts so I can reflect on them, think about what happened, what my accomplishments were that day, my goals, what I observed that was even the slightest bit uprising, what I was working on and what I could've done better. For example last night I just hung out with friends (no approaching girls or anything) and I wrote up 6,000 words of reflection - things I could've said, hints to what was really going on, things I noticed but I didn't understand - and before, I'd feel a strong need to regurgitate this info to other people because it's "stuck" in my brain (similar to venting but not quite). Today though, I feel like I've fully decompressed and now I can draw back on these experiences more readily.
