"Making fun" isn't quite right, but they were definitely being sarcastic. I think people throughout this thread are encouraging you to be less self-absorbed so that you can 1. Enjoy things around you without feeling like you're being judged for it, and 2. Develop empathy for those you interact with.
I know it seems trite, but it's important to realize that social interactions are way more fun if you pay attention to other people and are curious about them.
It really sounds trite. I just don't think I'll ever change. I'm aware enough that I'm not emphatic. That's just isn't me and I almost never enjoy things, even the things I do for myself.
