Why are we expected to care about such unimportant things that people tell us?
I might sound like an asshole here, so I apologize
One thing I noticed about observing people, specifically classmates, is that..they’re just so damn enthusiastic about the goings-on of people’s lives. I have a very small set of friends I interact with, however, they have their own friends. We tend to get along, but the thing is they are so incredibly uninteresting to speak to. I honestly look at my friend in awe whenever he speaks with his friends with such a caring attitude. I genuinely cannot speak with these people for more than 5 minutes without it becoming so meaningless to me. This is also sort of apparent in my (main) friend. Nowadays whenever he tells me about some sort of situation he got into or some kind of argument he was in, I typically only listen because I do not want to hurt his feelings, as I know he is very sensitive. But it is ultimately too uninteresting. I feel as if engaging with my hobbies, such as music and reading, is more interesting than speaking to people.
Then again, I am required to speak to people to pass this time of my life.
