It's not that I don't have anyone to talk to, it's that I don't have anything to talk about with others, and sometimes it happens that it's impossible to endure that loneliness and I want to socialize so badly, and I don't want to drink alcohol or watch shows on Netflix to drown out that feeling, because lately it hasn't helped. I wonder how you deal with it?

No ideal answer. Try to find a certain meaning in your daily life, activities can help or rather shifting from passivity to activity will alleviate that feeling, board games, pick up an instrument, martial arts school and so on.

I've accepted that this is how things are. Most interactions I have aren't about connecting, and even within my circle, there are times when it's possible to be completely misunderstood by people filtering out what their preferred narrative is about.
