Number one thing that can help is to start getting curious and interested about other people's stories.

What if I'm seen as overly curious and annoyingly nosy?

If you are genuinely curious and the person is talking about something they like, that is unlikely to happen. You can say things like, "That is so interesting to me, tell me more, what's xyz like?"

At some point they should recognize their turn for talking is over and ask you a question back. If they don't tell them "Thanks for sharing" and move on to talk to someone else or grab a drink/food/move locations
