Maybe its because of my meds, but I've been forgetting how to interact with people in terms of small talk and phone etiquette. As a result, I've been missing my conversational timing and have been speaking with either long pauses or interrupting when they're speaking. The hardest part for me thus far, has been knowing when to say good bye and thank you. What would you do in this scenario?

Person A: "So yeah we'll get it for you. Don't worry you'll be in good shape right after."
Person B: ________*What do they say here?* ---

I'm terrible at phone etiquette. I really appreciate all the help I could get from here. Thanks guys.

If it's someone I know in person, I'll usually end with "Alright, see you" even if it's not realistic. I don't like saying Goodbye and saying 'see you' feels less final and more like a statement/wish of what I want to happen. <_<

Strictly business, I'll end with "Alright, have a good (time of day)"

"It's been a pleasure speaking with you today, I look forward to our next conversation." Providing it would be normal for you to converse again, such as a client for a sale's company.

In that scenario; "Great, thanks for the help. Have a good one"

How would the other person usually respond to this? And how would you respond afterward?
I think this part is the hardest for me.

You need to add a clear outro to the end of your message. It lets that person know that you will be hanging up the phone following their response

I change my answer to something along the lines of "that sounds good. Hope you have a great day" or something along those lines.

I am shocked that this actually needs to be explained. A simple "Thank you. Have a nice day." is all that would be necessary for that example.

Usually something like, "thanks, you too/as well".

It's meant to be the end of the conversation, there shouldn't be anything after that.
