Basically that. I'm lonely, but whenever I hang out with people I find it so boring I just want to go and be on my own again. I find the topics of conversation invariably revolve around gossip, or asinine 'drama' or stupid memes or makeup or clothing, or I go to parties where people get even more boring and drunk. I have lots of acquaintances but no one I'd call a friend.
Yes, I know this is my problem, I know I'm a terrible person etc. etc. I just can't bring myself to find that stuff interesting. The constant cycle of "lonely so I'll hang out with people/hang out with people so I get irritated and bored and go back to isolation" is really exhausting.
Is there any way to stop being like this? To find people more interesting?

>you're just not trying to talk about the stuff you find interesting
I have tried, with different groups-they aren't interested
>you're just boring
Maybe I am, but that doesn't solve the present issue, does it? Besides, I feign interest in what they're talking about well enough.

Why fix it? It sounds like the people you hang with don't meet your standards, so just keep looking. If you never find a person or group that you don't hate being around, then oh well.

Where do I keep looking though?

Take some advice from the 1940's perhaps?

Depends what you're really looking for and what you have access to. It sounds like you might find some like-minded people here on /r9k/ but I don't know you. The vogue people you describe tend to be the ones you see outside so finding something else at say, school or work might be difficult.
