My brother is a year younger than I and two academic years behind me. He has no idea what he wants to do in life, has no appreciable talents or skills, and has likely not read a book he wasn't forced to read since he was 12. He likes Seinfeld, the Office, and pop music. He literally cannot carry a meaningful conversation for more than 10 minutes, because he has no real interests.
That said, my brother has a car, a girlfriend, a large group of friends and an active social life. He talks (never to me, only to our parents, who tell it to me) about all the times he's gone on a luxury vacation with his friends and some girl basically threw herself at him (but he definitely didn't cheat on his girlfriend ), or how he had such a great time at a concert in this cool nightclub. He has a management job opportunity at a large corporate gig that lets him basically work 6 hour days where he makes more than I do.
I just got back from having to pick up his car for him after he got too dunk to drive it. When I was driving it home, looking at all the people coming in and out of nightclubs, I had some really bad thoughts. I'm on medication that normally keeps me from having them, and I have to talk to someone regularly who makes sure I don't have them, but I had them on that ride home.
Edit: this post was incredibly cringe. I was being a whiney cute twink who just wanted attention. I'm actually in a pretty good place in life all things considered.

Stop trying to be meaningful, you're an r-slur. Start enjoying normie shit cos a lot of it is bretty good. Smile more, find a social hobby and make friends.

Can only have a conversation if the other person knows something meaningful to say. Which is why normal small conversation is limited to relationship drama and media they consoom. And people from the same office will talk about work related stuff even at social events.

Yes if it you try to have deep meaningful conversations with people you barely know or just met will devolve into one way rants 9/10 times. Develop the ability to do small talk and you will learn how to discuss meaningful conversations.
It's not that everyone besides you and your online friends are !r-slurs it's that you don't fundamentally grasp how to interact with people because you either
A.) Avoid human interaction at all cost
and
B.) Open up way too much way too fast

Trying to only have "meaningful" conversations is for turbosperg neurodivergents who desperately want to seem like erudite bohemians. It actually makes them insufferable and boring.

I don't want to talk about life or death or anything just some conversation that makes me think. Reason I became terminally online was actually how much fun I had arguing with random spergs online.

You just gotta walk before you run buddy. Incremental changes man. You can do it and you'll think it sucks at first but as those relationships develop and blossom you can start more meaningful conversations. But you gotta learn small talk. It'll be awkward and you'll fail at first but if you really try and put yourself out there you can do it. This is fun sure but it's not a replacement for irl interactions

This is called being normal. You gotta learn enough about basic topics so you don't seem like an r-slur
Like sports. I dont care about sports but I know enough to keep a conversation moving. At the very least you can ask questions and people will be delighted to answer. Shit like "oh I dont follow that team who's their running back??" "Isnt some guy off with an injury?"
Just gotta put ur mask on and pretend to care

I don't mean to fedpost but if I do ever sudoku I won't go alone. There's too many evil people in this world, I will take at least one with me. This is a promise I made to myself after contemplating how much better the world would be if even 1% sudokuers did it.

introspection is your enemy, avoid it at all costs
if you pretend to act like a normie for enough time, you'll start adopting their habits and the need to consciously act will decrease over time. Literally fake it until you make it
if you're offered literally any opportunity to interact with other people in any way, force yourself to accept. Do not deny yourself any opportunity to interact with others even if it means abdicating other responsibilities (within reason)
People have been giving me this advice for years but I finally managed to internalize it and actually try to apply it about a year ago. I've noticed a major improvement in my attitude, social skills, etc. I'm nearly a wizard and I'd been too afraid of w*men to speak to any other than my mother & senior citizens since I was 15 but recently I was able to handle a 5 minute conversation face-to-face with an attractive foid my age without panicking or even shoving my foot in my mouth.
I'm sure that you've heard similar advice before. Just try to implement it. It does work (at least to some extent).

That I am trapped in this particular irrelevancy is never more apparent to me than when I am banned from meta posts. Paralyzed by the neurotic lassitude engendered by meeting one's old meta posts at every turn, around every page refresh, inside my browser history, I go aimlessly from thread to thread. I decide to meet it head-on and sort by Old, and I view the contents on the page. A carp poll about Vampires and Furries. A Masterlawlz post, a photo of an butthole. My own posts begging to scam people. There is no final photo of an butthole for me to find. Nor is there any new polls from Carp, begging people for attention. I refresh the frontpage and look into its face, and do and do not see anything new. I close the webpage, and have another cup of coffee with Aevann. We get along very well, veterans of a guerilla war we never understood.
