@Nightwings yeah, I see, I just sometimes wonder if being overly curious about somebody can feel annoying to that person. Like getting asked questions about everything they say. Not much of a conversation in my opinion, what do u think?

@Dan193 You can interject your personal observations too, and hope you have something in common. It does happen that you don't have anything in common with a person, in that case you just keep it light. Keep it light by saying you have this thing you need to do now as you leave for example. Other people ask questions too so it won't just be one-sided (unless they don't want to talk to you, that's a social clue).

Who is we? You speak of Jews as a whole, not just Ashkenazim. My family owned land. But my parents became educated. They could work land and read a book. Impressive, right? My dad could grow food and do algebra and geometry. My mom could do art, learn history, and pick fruit.
You look down on real living. Who the hell wants to be a lawyer anyway?
We were banned from owning land, so we learned to live by our minds. We were blocked from trade guilds and professions, so we became merchants, scholars, doctors, and lawyers.

@HijabaDabbaDoo yeah but I don't want to ruin the relationship by being a buffoon x.x any way without making the mistakes?
Also I am interested but don't know the right words to say to send across the feeling

@Dan193 This is exactly what I was trying to say too. It's by far the main thing people are missing when they have trouble holding conversations. You gotta try it IRL.
Instead of focusing on how to come across, focus on being interested in getting to know them so the pressure to perform isn't there.

i agree w what others said to just keep doing it. i’ve struggled a lot previously with conversations because i went years almost entirely at home when i did homeschooling. as hard as i found it to keep up with conversations when i first got a job, it helped throw me into conversations consistently. i listened to what others said when talking to one another. for me, it was a lot of trial and error to figure out whether or not people are talking about things in order to get a response or if they just wanted to vent.
i don’t believe my response is anymore helpful than others, but i hope you know it’ll get easier🤍
