Unironically I find that repeating what your correspondent said but as a question shows your engagement, especially when they said something more expressive.

Something they’d expect you to react to more vividly, like something surprising, touching or shocking.

I feel like this would get really tiring/annoying for the speaker

It becomes more engaging, especially if said more expressively?
