the common denominator here is you. you picked them as friends, your beta ass is talking shit about them on the internet instead of getting better friends who share your interests. I would say they're terrible because you're terrible.

I don't have any friends I can talk much philosophy or literature with, it kind of sucks, they're all cool but I'm hoping I meet some cool people who are into it when I go off to uni, my worry is that if I meet anyone with my interests they'll be pretentious or holier than thou about it

I lent a friend a book and I kid you not every 1.5 questions I ask her about it she says:
>"I can't explain it".

women have shit reading comprehension, I asked my gf what she thought of Old Man and the Sea and she told me it was "crazy" and the narrator must be crazy. She wouldn't elaborate.

Put your ideas under different words. Philosophical discussions with non readers have to be disguised as normal conversation. If you're talking with a philosophy fan, you can reference specific works to get more info faster

Did you not read the OP?
People have shit reading comprehension. The education system and the lack of time and money to pursue one at all is to blame.

IT'S CAPITALISM.
