Conversations are my worst subject at school.
I should watch Annie Hall, I really enjoyed Manhattan.
(at least, if you're in the humanities).
Humanities. Not even once.
But then again, most of our conversations mostly spin around lame puns and math/physics jokes.

You should. I loved them both but Annie Hall is my favorite movie of all time.

@Goodbye Blue Monday; You should be grateful you hang around people who can carry conversations that you actually want to have. I'm surrounded by idiots.

You're in high school right? Don't worry, that will change.

It'd better. I can't take this shit any more. I mean, I try talking to people who seem okay, and then either a) they start avoiding me, b) they prove to not be people I want to hang around, and/or c) they move somewhere else.
History4lyf!
His-to-ry! His-to-ry!
You don't even talk like this at conferences?
Only discuss politics with people you disagree with. It's more exiting. Also, have a response to everything, and JUST MURDER YOUR OPPONENT!
Have no mercy. Make them feel ashamed and reexamine their lives.
That's how one debates.

To be honest, if there is one thing in humanities that's interesting, it's history.

I would give advice, but you're asking the wrong person. I was an awkward mess in high school. In fact, I am still, but less of one - partly because I surround myself with other awkward messes who have similar interests.
As you get older in general, you have more choice about who you socialize with, so things really will get better. I promise.
Oh, that's another: or d) I start hating my stupid, socially awkward self to the point where I start worrying that people are avoiding me when they're probably just not as desperate for someone to enjoy spending time around as I am. That's usually what happens.
Man, I need to stop caring about people. Fuck people.

This is true for me, too, because I have social anxiety. You just have to remind yourself that nobody cares about you as much as you do - in a good way (meaning, they're not scrutinizing you). Ask yourself if you carefully consider the things in other people that you're worried about in yourself. You probably don't, right? That means they're probably not examining that in you, either.
"But what if they are?" my annoying pessimistic self asks. And that's why advice is wasted on me.
