How do you be more than someone’s acquaintance?

I don’t know how to talk to people in a non-boring way. I have finally figured out how to make small-talk such as “where are you from?” “what do you study?” “Oh that’s cool, that sounds fun/nice/frustrating” but I don’t know how to get past this point. I observe friend groups and people are talking about random stuff and their experiences, but they know how to make it interesting, make jokes that are actually funny, tease each other, know the perfect thing to say at the right point in a conversation. I can’t talk with “fun and interesting” people, the conversation becomes overwhelming and I can’t keep up with them. It’s probably why I can’t form real friends. I end up knowing everyone’s names and everyone knows my name, but I am in nobody’s friend group and I don’t fit in anywhere. Talking 1-on-1 with an introverted chill person is fine but I try to meet up with someone and they disappear after 2-3 hangouts. They get bored with me. I’ve had this problem all my life and I don’t know how to fix it because I don’t know where to start or how to acquire this type of conversation skill. 🙁
