write down possible questions and come up with answers before the calls. if you're really anxious you can just draw a big diagram.

pick out some interesting stories from the news and talk about them like "oooh, have you heard about xy, so shocking right?"

remember to use typical phrases at the beginning and ending: how are you, how is xy, have you done xy already, how was xy
good luck with xy, let's talk again next week, thanks for calling

Specifically like when there's silence, I struggle being sociable and other see it as awkward.

E.G. with my dad, I began studying politics because he likes politics so we have stuff to discuss since I am not good at chatting.

come up with 2~3 good topics before. news, personal events, questions you can ask relating to whatever the person told you about last time.

how is your family, your job, have you visited xy yet, did you watch xy, i just read this book called xy, there is this event in town, have you talked to xy how is s/he, can you greet xy from me

if you want to end a call as quickly as possible you can say your battery is low and you have to end it soon.
