I have been writing genre fiction tales for most of the time, plus some poems and a nouvelle, but now I want to try something deep and realistic. The problem is that I am afraid to sound like a pseud so...
How do I get some serious themes without being in your face or reddit tier symbolism?
Do I have to have a profound connection with this serious stuff in order to make it sound real?
Example: Trying to talk about war without having lived one. Talking about being an old man while being someone close to his 30's.
If a character talks or gives an opinion how do I avoid sounding like a mouth piece or a sock puppet?

Well yes and no. In my experience writing a genre tale is more about descriptions to get the tone, build some actions in order to set a structure and character development is almost non existent.
Now, passing from that to a novel, character development is a must, I have to take care of the rhythm in order to avoid burning the message too early and having to discuss a theme in length is closer to a veiled essay.
