I am pretty smart and I'm not a lamer or an asshole, though I make silly mistakes and say stupid things occasionally I don't go out of my way to piss people off or act annoying. My problem is that I lack any social skills whatsoever beyond business. I enjoy philosophy, but people who actively try to strike up conversations about philosophy are seen as weirdoes, so I keep it to myself. I don't really care about anything else so I can't strike up conversations.
What do people talk about and why do you give a fuck about stupid bullshit like some gay story about some girl who wore a ring on each finger or whatever? Also when people talk about something that is actually mildly important, why do the illogically ramble on for a while instead of just going straight tothe point and when they eventually come to a point why do they reiterate that point over and over as if it is some sort of triumph worth savouring? I find this really annoying when I actually talk to someone about something. When I feel the need to tell someone something I talk very briefly, communicate my message and ignore their re-iteration, there is then an awkward silence because I am too annoyed to respond.
How do I talk about stuff and get people to talk about things which are not pointless so I can like have loads of friends and stuff like everyone else?
