Topics for social interactions are not difficult. It is possible to come up with topics for every new relationship.
Sports is a useful topic for men. Sports cut across social barriers. In the workplace, there may be hierarchies, but sports do not depend on social rank. Sports is a topic that can be talked about by all in a relaxed way.
For women, cooking is a useful topic. Topics should allow one to talk with another person like a human being though acknowledging the social status.
When meeting people for the first time, do not unload problems to the people who are strangers. For instance, "I just got off of a drug rehabilitation..." Do not talk to just anyone about personal, intimate subjects. Personal information is saved for close relationships.
People give free information all the time. Make a note of the personal information in order to show the person one is listening. Repeat the information in future conversations.
Stay away from issues of strong feelings such as politics or religion.
There is power to steer the conversation so as not to go to where it is not wanted. Do not feel inferior.
