Sure is quiet around these here parts today. Almost ... Too quiet.

I love WikiHow:

How to Be a Quiet Person
https://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Quiet-Person

Ask questions that focus on the other person.



People love talking about themselves, and if you allow them time to do it, they’ll love you for it, too. Being quiet doesn't mean not talking — it means using words succinctly, asking interesting questions, and making solid points worth talking about. So don't tell yourself to shut up; just tell yourself to ask the right questions.

Let’s say an acquaintance of yours went skydiving. Instead of saying, “Oh, I went skydiving once; it was awesome!” you say, “That’s great! How was it? Was it your first time?” If they’re truly invested in the conversation, they’ll probably ask you if you’ve ever done it, too.

I have a few things I want to say about a few things but I won't open that can of worms.
