Moving a lot and always being the new kid teaches one to start a conversation with anyone. It amazes my wife how I can talk to anyone. I enjoyed her 50th high school reunion and I only knew my wife and one other lady there, and I did not hang with them as they were catching up with their old high school friends.

Only if that's already part of your personality. I moved a bunch (not as much as you). I can talk to people/strangers, but I'm not likely to start conversations and never have been.
