What should you do when someone is not telling you the full story?

You could simply say something like 'Nice to meet you' or 'That's a great name.'

If I'm interested, I'll give him some positive feedback like nodding or making appropriate comments. But if I'm not, I might still be polite and wait for him to finish. However, if he goes on for too long and I have other things to do, I could gently interrupt and say I need to attend to something else.

Look for signs like hesitation in their speech. If they keep pausing or stuttering while telling the story, it could be a sign that they are trying to figure out what to say and what not to say. Also, if their story seems overly simplistic or lacks details that you would expect, it might be incomplete.

I'll try to make her the hero of the story and give her a lot of wonderful experiences. I'll also include some funny moments to make her laugh.

It could be called 'storytelling'. When someone is engaged in the act of sharing a story, that's typically referred to as storytelling.

You should listen attentively and show interest. Maybe nod or make appropriate comments to show you're engaged.

First, we should listen carefully. Maybe he's had a unique or difficult experience with acid. Then, depending on the context, we could offer support or advice. If it's a dangerous situation related to acid, like illegal use, we might need to encourage him to seek proper help or even report it to the relevant authorities.

Just stay quiet and give your full attention. Don't interrupt the person while they are speaking. Look at them directly to show that you are engaged.

It usually means that person is sharing or narrating a sequence of events or experiences.

It's not a definite yes or no. It all comes down to your personality and emotional connection to the story. If you're highly sensitive and can relate strongly, you might cry. But if you tend to process emotions differently, you might not.
