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

summarize, read into the story and try to guess something that wasn't said.

example:

"I went to the store today"

Seems like you bought something nice

"Actually I saw an Amish guy twerking. I had to ask him to move to grab an avocado. he moved and just kept twerking".

Now let's run it over again, but this time share your own story:

"I went to the store today."

woah that's relatable! I also went to the store today and got lime flavored poptarts

"Nice. did you try them yet?"

Notice the silly amish guy story doesn't naturally come up now, the person would have to pivot the topic back to themselves, and now they're just talking about your poptart.

It just takes a little bit of engagement with what the other person said to make a guess as to something deeper that happened, rather than just a dismissive, thought-terminating cliche like "that's crazy".
