I'm not a person who can talk nonstop, but I am fine with carrying on a conversation. If someone I'm talking to has nothing to say, I just take a hint and stop talking, but the person I mentioned is someone that I like, and she calls me all the time, so I feel like I have a responsibility to keep talking. I am fine with silence, but not really when it comes to the phone.

Everyone seems to be so into themselves that they have lost the ability to speak to a total stranger if it doesn't fit into their schedule.

Yeah I have noticed that as well. And also people tend to look at you like you're a weirdo or something if you try to talk to them.
I often rag on my roommates about this subject. They are from Long Island, and are almost scared to talk to people they don't know. It's like they think all strangers must be axe murderers or something. Coincidentally, they have no friends in Florida, and I do. They think I'm strange because I'll start talking to people at the beach or supermarket or something..
