Social interaction is a skill. You practice it and you use it or lose it.
If you live in even a somewhat remotely large city there are people into esoteric topics of conversation. You just have to be a pleasant person to talk to.

>Is it possible to go back to relative normality after reading a lot?

Yes. There are many well-adjusted well-read people. You are just retarded.

Another anon said that social interaction is a skill which you must practice. They are absolutely right. Your problem has nothing to do with how much you’ve read; you simply need to practice your social skills.

Start by viewing yourself as a shit-for-brains neophyte, instead of an arcane patrician warlock. View every stranger as a God in disguise. Learn to love the pain of failure and you’ll be okay.

I also went down that path. used to lead a relatively normal life but it got harder and harder to identify with my peers. i really dont know what i could possibly contribute to a normal social interaction beyond meeting them for the first time and having that introductory small talk to get to know them, thats about the only thing i can do. i am extremely isolated these days anyway

>normality
Normality is the lowest common denominator. If you want friends and a social circle you need people who are like you or smart or interesting in some way. Go to a book club or club/society/team of some kind and make friends in an active way, random socialising in bars and lame parties is a complete meme for NPCs/plebs/boomers.

If you want to see an example of dynamic socialising, take my wacky friend who I'm about to go hang out with. It's the 5th of November, and we're going to be at the most major Guy Fawkes night fireworks celebration in England.
He's a total manic extrovert to the extreme, and he goes out every day and walks around even if he has nowhere to be.
He walks into his local businesses all the time and makes friends with the owners, which works both ways because they can chat to someone during work and they are always in the same spot for him.
So he ends up having all these friends and contacts who are cool, smarter people, with the brains to own shops and run a small business.
These people often do other cool things in their spare time, and so he ends up having interesting things to do and places to be in the evening or at the weekend, and then he has contacts and expert information that he can call people for.

There's a guy who owns a store near him, and one of the other things this guy does is he helps organise this big fireworks 5th November event every year. So we're gonna go to this thing and hang out with the organiser a bit, and he gave my friend tips on where to go and what to see.
