For some reason I can't talk with my girlfriend about "deep" stuff, like literature or psychology or even trivial things like what we thought of some movie. I almost always feel incredibly embarassed to sound like I'm trying too hard to be deep and smart, and think she feels the same way. Our romantic conversations hardly ever go beyond "I love you", even though I want to tell her how much she means to me with far wider terms.
This doesn't happen with other people, only with those whom I truly love and really trust. What the fuck is wrong with me, and how do I fix it?

Start with the trivial things like movie critique, and build up from there. Eventually you'll get used to it
Stay away from politics in my opinion though. Pretty sure that was what caused the eventual demise between the ex and I... And that was just me being centre-right, and her centre-left

Will give it a shot, thanks.
I think this strays from me being a pretentious little prick when I was a teenager. The so-called relationships I had back then were choke-full of cheap "intellectual" conversations, until I grew up and got sick of it (and myself). I don't want people close to me to think of me as that kind of douchebag ever again.
I swear, if I could somehow go back in time I'd kick my 15-year-old self's ass so hard.

If you wanted us to listen to your life story you could've just said so in the OP, OP

Women never evolved beyond simple animals and don't care about any of that. Unless you want to talk about social media gossip or celebrities don't even bother.

same here man
i find it way easier to open up to people i'm not concerned about what they think of me
like there's this other girl that i wouldnt do anything with in a million years
and i find it really easy to talk to her about stuff i feel self-conscious about with my gf (like sperging out about a videogame or song or something) - when I can barely talk to my gf about anything despite how we used to have chemistry, hence why we got together, but even then, conversations weren't really our strongpoint, idk.
