What makes it worse is the language barrier… cuz I’ve been using English since 8 and its my primary lanfuage, and my mom sounds awkward af in English and she won’t understand complex topics…
And like if I start talking philosophy, then it sounds so doomer and like mom be like: (translated) “Why are you overthinking everything?”
But okay wtf do I talk about? Do I start going on a rant about politics and them mom be like: “You can’t change politics, just accept it”
Like WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I talk to dad about like hypothetical interstellar travel and time dialation and dad was like: “Cool story bro” (like the Cantonese equivalent of it)
Like what the hell, are they just so boring? And they are saying I’m gonna become “autistic” because I never talk to them…
There’s nothing to talk about that ends the conversation happily.
Literally more boring responses than a fucking LLM lmfao
Bring a bunch of random hard copy photographs (literally anything). Point at each of them individually and say “huh, how about that” after pointing do the /are you impressed/ thing with your eyebrows. I promise some conversation will spark at some of them.
You assume these people have imagination, some people really are just boring. Go to work, watch TV sleep. That’s it for a large majority of them.
I gave a real answer in his other post. Also, you can talk about those three things you mentioned for hours.
