ask them what they like doing for fun, if theyre in school, do they have a job, have you seen this tv show, have you seen this movie, have you heard this new record... etc etc
i think the best thing to do is act unphased by an awkward silence and let it pass.
(it normally works for me, and now i don't really care, i guess they're 50% less awkward now)
i think its important to understand that you dont ALWAYS have to be yapping about pointless things with people. the people im closest with are the ones who i can comfortably share a silence with. not all silences are awkward. something doesnt always have to be said.

Well, if i share my experience definitely a silence with the close people IMO never gets awkward and since you are so close with the person that you are able to figure out the issue in much less time.
"In the discourse of revolution, there are multiple forms of action presented by which the society can overcome its present limitations so as to secure the next stage of liberation, this action is generally referred to as Praxis. So in your opinion, what [method of] Praxis is to you the most well suited to secure revolution and the democratic ownership of the means of all production and the abolition of private property as defined as such; or all of it?"
I tend to ask about their favourite shows. Games. Characters. Books. Anything like that. Or ask what's going in their life. But my main go too's are the favourite stuff.
I've been in this situation many times before, thankfully I'm socially a moron so I just wait it out or go on about the weather.
MCF, what is your go-to question?
- C.C.
Well, for me i usually start with "Oh have you tried the new pizza place"
"Well this is awkward"
"So..."
"Did you hear about..."
"It's pretty quiet in this room"
"I like what you're wearing, what brand is it?"
And so on.
"So… what d'you wanna do?"
"I don't know, how about you?"
Just that on repeat until someone thinks of something
From the rooftop she came… and pulled out her tablet…📱
I… AM NOT MIDORI GURINU!!
"I saw an article once saying that the best way to break an awkward silence is to acknowledge it."
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king
Are you even a boy/girl?
"I sexually identify as an attack helicopter. How about you?"

"Do you like monster girls?"
"Tell me something."
Internally screaming since 1400 B.C.
Do you like to hang around gymnasiums?
And who are you, the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.
Can't go wrong with " Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"

I tried this one " Do you think i should be working on loosing some weight" And it backfired on me like i asked for a kidney donation.
"Did you know the name Gregg is 60% the letter G?"
It's just out there and thought provoking enough that it gets people's attention.
