I find it hard to have conversations as i feel like it's really close looped or there's not much response by the other person to go by.

For example, a lot of the conversations I get are one worded responses and I'm not sure whether it's me or them. I don't want to ask boring interview questions and want to keep conversations fun and exciting.

Is there any way for them to talk about themselves or even respond to what i'm saying?

A lot of my dialogues go like

"Hey! How you going?

"Good thanks yourself?"

"(Personal input about my day)" and try to get some conversation hooks in there

But then the conversation ends there.
