Good rule if you want to be popular or socially successful: talk less.

the amount of times at parties, at networking events, whenever when I'll be listening to someone and simply thinking "please stop talking now"

you could patch that rule with "listen more" == "talk less, listen more" eg: ask questions.

a cardinal sin when networking is to dive into what you do and talk and talk without bothering to ask the listener any questions.

i promise this will make you 10x more popular. and if you are talking, think about how you can cut to the chase with fewer words.
