Unironically I find that repeating what your correspondent said but as a question shows your engagement, especially when they said something more expressive.

Something they'd expect you to react to more vividly, like something surprising, touching or shocking.

Something surprising, touching or shocking?

I like to see I'm being listened to, and this kind of repetition can be a sign of that. But it can easily turn into a mechanical repeating if used carelessly.

Hey I wasn't paying attention and it absolutely did coax me into elaborating! It sorta proves my point, I think.

Well, I would add an "Oh shit, " at the beginning, so it would be like

Oh shit, something more expressive?

Shit happens when your ass is expressiv.

I feel like this would get really tiring/annoying for the speaker

[-] ddplf@szmer.info 1 points 1 week ago

Sure, like everything else when overused, but when done with in moderation it is a nice figure of speech I believe

[-] Pat@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago

It becomes more engaging, especially if said more expressively?

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Are you including when you rephrase the question but the content is essentially the same?

^ This is how I do it

  • ...I ate that huge tiger shrimp when I was there
