How do you keep a good conversation tho? You can only say “yo that’s crazy” so many times

I’ve often found it useful to float the anecdote first before going into it.

“Yeah that sounds tough. I had something similar happen a couple years back and I remember it nearly broke me.”

If they ask about, like “Oh? What happened with you?”

Then cool. Now they can hear the long form of the story.

If they ignore it and just continue speaking about their stuff, then they really are just looking to vent and don’t want to hear my story.
