How do I make comebacks quicker?

You can straight up ignore shit tests as a neutral response.

No loss or gain in merit.

If you want comebacks then watch some standup in your entertainment time or just reflect off what all the other friends say in the group about that specific person.

every friend group I’ve been in each person has something that they get roasted for, realize it’s no big deal and they’re not really trying to get to you.

If your friends don’t give you shit sometimes you’re not close friends

I'm ass at a lot of things socially, but quick witted comebacks are my forte. My advice to you is to not think too much into it and break down anything into the simplest of terms. Use the words they use against them in a humorous way.

Ignoring passes a shit test every time.

The purpose of a shit test is to test your resiliency and self awareness. Ignoring and not letting it get under your skin or show weakness is plenty of proof.

However you can’t just ignore and look away/butt hurt. Learn to silently smirk, keeping eye contact or look away with your head held high(confident, just short of arrogant)

Not that there’s not benefits to learning AA or pressure flips. If you think about it as points. Ignore gets you 8. AA 9. Pressure flip 10.

Just perfect confidently ignoring for now. You won’t always be able to think of a response and you need to having ignoring as your fall back. Just remember a couple tests that were thrown at you each day. When you’re alone, think of a good response. If it comes up again use it. But just the exercise of thinking of a response alone will slowly build the skill of quick witty responses. Eventually you’ll naturally think of something quick enough in real time.
