>no interesting hobbies >very uneventful life in general

Take an interest in other things, or just talk about the weather or get the normie to talk about themselves

Get things to talk about. You need to be actually happy with yourself and mostly with what you're doing before you can successfully make solid friendships. Get hobbies, a job, do activities. I know it may seem hard, but that's what you have to do.

Why would you even want to socialize lmao? Live for yourself my dude being a loner is the best.

Go monk mode, forget socializing for a while and just work on yourself

talk about them you retard. show interest in other people, it will make you 10x more likeable even if you were the most interesting man in the world

But what if I genuinely don't care about what's going on in their lives?

I saw a mudcrab today. Awful creatures.

no one ever cares. just pretend. people love talking about themselves,im sure you do too youre probably just too shy but if someone asked you about something you like (vidya probly) then you would talk abut it for hours. peoples favorite topicis themselves< once you get them to talk about themselves ask questions you can legit say nothing about yourself and they would think youre great at "conversation"

What if the other person is kind of shy and gives one sentence answers?

thats a very specific situation but like i said find something they are interested in through open ended questions and give input, i was a social retard so i had your questions too but i read "how to win friends and influence people" by dale carnegie i 100000% recommend it . it helped me alot.

Just start talking about philosophy. Tell them that the only thing they can know with certainty is the fact that they exist in the metaphysical sense. Talk about thought provoking scientific facts. Ask them if they think consensual incest with contraception is morally wrong. The possibilities are endless, really...

if you want to start a conversation just vocalize your inner monologue aloud. it wont make you come off as cheesy as talking about the weather.

Watch a lot of TV shows. Normies love that shit, I always default on tv shows if I don't know what to talk about.

I should try this. I fucking hate bringing up the weather but it's what I always start topics with.
