How can I Stop being a loner, and provoke good conversation?

Question

Let me start of by saying i'm 15 and have absolutely NOTHING in common with teenagers this day in age. I'm a deep thinker (or at least i think i am) and my thoughts and what i consider to be good conversation revolve around much more than, for example, my shoes, the new iphone or chris browns new cd. A lot of times i find talking with my peers boring (but for the sake of conversation, I give my thoughts and express my opinions).When i start a conversation that i find interesting (i.e. nature, human behavior, life) they tend to shy away or have a "I don't know, I don't Care" attitude, which is one reason i'm often by myself (i like my space,and i'm shy). I'm not self centered, i don't view myself as being above or more mature than kids my age, i just don't value and is not interested in most things that teens are nowadays. Sorry this is so long.

Answer 1

Perhaps you could ask a teacher at school if you can start a club for people with more enquiring minds and have things like debates or guest speakers or discussions on deeper matters and invite other like minded people as yourself to join. You could do this in your lunch break for mental stimulation and enjoy making some new friends  

Answer 2

i know EXACTLY how you are feeling! i'm 15 too and i can't talk to people my age at all. its all gossip and shallow comments about people they don't even know. its like "talk about yourself."  i've always considered myself more mature than alot of my peers. i have the tendency to make more friends that are older easier than people my age. due to the fact i refuse to restrain my overactive social conscience and only talk about the latest episode of american idol.

you aren't alone

Answer 3

Look around for other kids like yourself & talk to them  

Answer 4

A good way to initiate good conversation is to look around your surrounding and comment about something unusual about it. For example, if its summer and its raining, you can start off by commenting on the weather change. If they say something positive, boom you got yourself something to talk about. The person you talk to might be interested in what you have to offer.

If you wanna fit with your friends, you should try listening to what they talk about but never give away your power or opinion just to satisfy them or to feel among. If they give that I don't care attitude, then they probably aren't the right friends for you. It implies they are not intelligent as all they talk about is chit chat (which i can relate to gossiping) and makes them no different to girls. Also, i guess you should find guys who find the things you do fun. Make friends with them and before long, your confidence to talk to anyone will improve.

Also, read many articles on the internet or read a lot of newspapers so that you can always have something fun to talk about. May be they are bored in your presence. If you read random articles as well as funny articles, I assure you anything will pop into your head and they will just go along with it.

Good luck
