It's pretty much that. If you don't know what to say, get them to talk.
And then all you have to do when it's your turn to talk is repeat back whatever emotions they have/had related to whatever the fuck they're talking about.
>Person: One time x happened and I was very frustrated
>You: It's very hard to keep your cool when something frustrating happens. How did you deal with it?
Either learn to be interested in other people or at least work on faking it.

I wish I wasn't self-aware.
And I don't mean that good side of being self-aware, but genuinely crippling levels of self-awareness of every little miniscule detail. When I interact with someone I over analyze that interaction to the smallest possible detail afterwards, small talk is almost impossible to me because of it. I am aware of the speed I am talking, the posture I am holding, the tone I am expressing, the eye contact I am holding, the body language I am expressing, my brain is literally working on overdrive 110% every single time and as soon as I do something "wrong" in any of these things I feel like I did something terribly wrong. Every single second feels like an hour and I am constantly in fight or flight mode. And later I deconstruct that same interaction for weeks and months to no end.
Every social interaction is like Q&A conversation in a RPG game, but instead of 3 possible questions/answers and endless time to pick the correct response there's like 3 million possible questions/answers to choose from and a deadly awkwardness timer going on, where if you don't quickly pick a response in milliseconds and not picking the right response results in me dying right there on the spot.

I want to erase that, to just be able not to think about any of that and not act manually. To be able to just talk about the weather or something dumb like that without thinking much about it.

I don't know, if normalfags or family I've tried and I can actually be funny if I want to, but I think they're all npcs of no use to me so I don't say anything until they stop calling me.

If they're women I just say some shit that's funny to me even from 4chan but normified, like some movie lines (I've watched many rom coms and that kind of shit) or edgy jokes like wanting to say the n word but can't because I'm white, or stupid sex jokes, or say that I'm a virgin or talk about pepe or whatever I think it's funny at the time.

Women are npcs anyway but you're tryna fuck so it can be worth it

Most people don't care. About you, about what you like, about any of the things you're interested in. After you realize that and your ego comes to grips with it then trying to do everything perfect all the time is less of an issue. Just relax and remember you're probably excessively worrying about things they won't even care to note.

Rationally I am absolutely aware of that, everyone just thinks about themselves for the most part.
But that rational thought doesn't change shit when I'm actually in the moment of interaction, I can tell myself the other person doesn't care as much as I want my heart will still beat like crazy and my brain will work in 110% overdrive no matter what.

I have to go consume an incredible amount of DMT or go lose a limb in a war or something, anything to reset my 24/7 fight or flight brain

Music/movies/books
If you have a deep knowledge of anything you can probably ramble about it for a long time and people may find something in common.
Or ask them about themselves, people generally like to talk about themselves. Unless they are like you, a boring loser with nothing to talk about. Kek

Kek I usually ramble about finance and Jews, unironically. I had an hour long conversation with this cute bartender last time I went out about politics, we cracked plenty of jokes despite having less than similar views. I think the key here is to have a sense of humour. I think you should take yourself less seriously.
I surround myself with people who have deep interests and have a sense of humor. There's no need to get angry anon, I'm self aware of who I am and it works socially.

I've managed to get by faking interest and being funny. Made many friends and had some gfs even, but the problem is you can't keep doing that shit when you have more than a surface level relationship with people. Eventually they'll start to wonder how come they don't know anything about you even though they've spent so much time with you, and they'll question you about it, ask you if you distrust them. That's the worst part about this shit. It never ends and it isn't even social anxiety, something is just not there. I haven't been to /r9k/ for years but that social hierarchy of normalfag>cyborg>robot has always stuck to me. Too normal for robots, too weird for normalfaggots.

>> No.51723578

Yeah you're right. A lot of conversations people have are going to be completely meaningless shoot the shit style remarks. Sometimes you'll meet someone interesting who has stories to tell. Maybe you have stories too?
I do agree with you though, it's funny how it works.
Ironically the autistic guy who went on for an hour about WW2 isn't someone I'd talk to again. But the drug dealer who got his eye knocked out by a baseball bat is.
I think accessibility is a big thing is conversation. You have to read the room

Based as fuck. I think that's what autists here should do. Make nigga jokes, talk about how they are wojak but want to be pepe and shit like that. Of course if they are online people it's cringe but if they don't know anything about it and you explain in a funny way it's hilarious.
They just need to stop being introverted autists who think they're losers and be more extroverted autists that think they're people, and unless they are bottom 15% ugliness, they'll get pussy or a friend or two, although these conversations probably would be cringe and not fun with a bigger group

Yeah no shit because no one wants to get in a shouting match in a public place with a stranger. It's ok to disagree but if you can't hold a calm discussion (most people can't) you're gonna have a hard time. Hence, read the room.

One of my favorite parts of the cyber world is how youtubers and twitch streamers and other "influencers" are nothing more than surrogate friends for people.
