Simply care for others.
In a conversation don't ask dumb things for the sake of giving a response.
People are committing time and energy into socializing. Respect that. And if people don't respect your time then dump them. There is nothing wrong with that.
Don't make yourself a search engine or some kind of automaton. People don't want to talk to a encyclopedia. People want to connect to another human being. They want a story that they can grasp. Something that could happen to them. Understand who they are and then establish common ground.
