how are normies able to hold conversations with each other for

it's always "the one time we got wasted..." if you're not in college, "this chick I've a crush on/I banged..." in college, meaningless chitchat at work after. unless you've interests and are a genuinely interesting person that is.

There are different levels to conversation. Casual relationships call for casual conversation about shared events or interests. The more intimate your relationship with someone, the more abstract the ideas you talk about are.

>no interests
>no concerns
>no political beliefs
>no realizations, or profound thoughts
>like the idea of talking to other people
>dont actually talk to people because it doesnt live up to my idealized version

truly the duality of man

read up on a variety of topics so you can have a reasonably articulate opinion on most things

how are you able to browse /r9k/ 24/7, isn't it supposed to be for "original content" but is the same 10 threads repeating endlessly?

They parrot opinions they hear from various places and call other people faggots behind their back. Why the fuck do you think reality tv is so popular. People love gossip so much that when they aren't gossiping they're watching other people do it. Humans were a mistake.

but that can be talked about for so long. it seems like eventually every conversation would be the same thing over and over again.

what about somebody you're just getting to know?

thats the joke, a lot of them are. even more, they're not actual discussions, they're monologs where one waits for the other to finish to then tell (keep on telling) their own, mostly unrelated story.
once in a while though you'll find someone to have a nice, proper discussion about something you're both passionate about. one where you respond to your counterpart, maybe even change your viewpoint halfway through. where you may learn sth new from. and that's worth waiting out the mindless water-cooler talk for
