do normies not like it when you relate a story back to yourself?

Normies only want to talk about themselves. If you interrupt their monologue by talking about yourself its considered "rude". What they expect is that you sit there for half an hour and listen to their life story and ask leading questions so they can continue blathering.

Want my opinion? Become a hermit.

where do I make my leading questions go to if I don't want anything from them

(other than friendship)

They just want you to ask them questions about the things they're saying. If your friend is telling you a long winded story about his trip to Paris, he wants you to ask shit like what the weather was like, whered you stay, what did you see, that kind of bullshit. They just want to have permission to continue hogging the conversation.

what! thats not a real conversation!
the best conversations ive had were jokey back and fourth stuff with no subject matter

how do I find conversation like that?
they seem far more real and effective at creating relationships

Yes but if you get good enough at this (asking questions, sitting, and just listening) it's an easy way to get people to like you.
