People live talking about themselves. If you get them talking by asking some genuine questions, they'll go for it. Iirc this is a good video to explain it briefly: https://youtu.be/vU-ibdHkz4Y?si=AgoPUH873IjpYJ0a

Don't forget though, you're there to get to know folks. Not turn them into a science project or run a specific method. It's okay to stumble over words or say you've had trouble making new friends lately (and leave it at that). People like helping innately if you ask or are a little vulnerable
