just keep them talking, they’ll eventually bring the conversation around to something that is dear to them
It's painful to pretend to show interest then. I can only talk about thinks i am thoroughly interested in (and i talk a lot then), or I can analyze a minor detail or bring up lots of trivia (i know lots of them) to divert the conversation. I don't exactly pass as a talker that way, but at least people don't think i lack confidence.

I find something about that persons interest that I always wanted to know, and ask about that. It can be tangentially related.
