How to Keep a Conversation Going

Learning to hold a decent conversation with someone you don't know all that well takes practice. It's harder than ever when we are still emerging from a few years of pandemic isolation and have spent those years online or on the phone.  If I were to put on my Mom hat, I would advise someone to stop thinking about yourself or the impression you're making, because no one cares. Focus on what the other person is saying, show interest, and make them feel like what they are saying is funny, important, or at least worth knowing. They will love you for it.
