Just talk at your own rate. Anyone who listens is worthy of you.
This is extremely important to learn now than to painstakingly forge through experience. Talk about what interests you and anyone that doesn't take the time to listen and understand you is not worth your time. Dont be narcissistic though, relationships are give and take. So, sometimes you have to listen to the other person even if it doesn't interest you.
If this is simply because you have no insight on the topic, then that's fine. Wait until you do or wait for a moment when you can steer the conversation to a topic that is related and interests you.

Disagree, I have found more value in learning new things from other people than just looping through my own interests.

A lot of people have also never tried my interests, much like I haven't tried theirs, allowing for an exchange of new experiences that lets both grow.

That being said, I believe in wearing a T-Shirt that shows an interest as a natural Ice Breaker, and conform to a similar idea over conversational synergy and flow rather than the topics themselves.

I have a hard time joining conversations because I have nothing to add to them.
If when you do try to say something or strike conversation on a topic and they completely ignore you, this is another example of them not showing respect for you. If your friends do not respect you then you need new friends.

The line of thinking where it's always "their fault" is how one resists self correction.

Maybe Allure is horrible at talking IRL, with a stutter or something. For all we know the solution might really be learning some tongue twisters or some shit, we don't have enough information.

I've been more of the mindset that I have more control over myself than over other people, so it makes sense to refine myself as a means of potentially refining others.
