I just had a pretty big shock come to me the other day when I was told that you don't have to have similar hobbies to be friends with someone. This is probably common sense to all of you, but as someone who has spent his entire adolescence (so far) on developing his taste in music or visual novels, it's hard to comprehend how to speak about anything outside of my hobbies. You see, I want to make friends, but any conversation that's not on a specific topic confuses the hell out of me. I have no sense for talking about things, and especially those I have no interest in. Still, I feel like my life has only ever been fulfilling when I've had friends, and I'd like to fix this somehow.
What would be your suggestions for this? I don't want to be one of those Dale Carnegie handshake-and-a-smile types who start going to parties and shit, I just want a few friends. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Bump. Anyone, please?

You don't experience only your hobbies, and what you presently enjoy is not the only thing that envelops you. You can talk to friends about dreams, current events, food, or stories of your past. The more you interact with people the more doors of conversation will open for you and you'll learn.

I guess so. Are you supposed to ask a lot of questions? I feel like I'm too self-centered.
