How do I into social interaction

I've started conversations with people who I thought were pretty "normal" and ended up talking about very obscure subjects. Sometimes people have hidden depths. Sometimes they don't, but you'll never find out if you don't try.

In any case it's good to start with more general subjects and see where it goes. Your ability to talk exclusively about hyper-obscure topics doesn't make you special or better than others.

here are a list of things i know:
Its not what you say, its how you say it
male interactions are based upon talking down to each other in a playful way. Also, groups of males may pick on someone in particular as a joke.
get eye contact right
natural facial emotions are also important
laughter should be genuine

Not to hijack but I need help making new friends. I'm fine with holding conversations and such but I can't for the life of me make new friends.

Just started community college this week and haven't talked to anyone so far, can't think of anything to say to new people to be friends with them.

I used to be a social autist for at least 5-8 years but I just started college too so take full advantage of that. I saw some guy waiting for his bus outside the school so i just said "hey aren't u in my class?" And just like that u shake hands, introduce yourselves and make a friend. I was finally able to cure my autism after forcing myself in social situations and i challanged myself to talk to people so i worked in a call centre
