was just at a political conference in another country and all the Normie’s wanted to ask me about was the “travelling” and the “food”.I went to Hungary for a political conference and there was so many interesting discussions in nationalism and global economic integration, immigration, role of govenrment in curtailing degenerative culture evolution, etc.I told my normie Aunt what I mentioned above and she goes “ah I see, how was the Fooooood???? Did you go to any restaurants?” And I just went “uh ok I guess I mainly bought stuff from the convenient store like meat packaged” and she goes “ohhhh you didn’t go to restaurants???? No anon you gotta tell me more about the food I went to Austria not too long ago and let me tell you this prime rib was so good they cook it blah blah blah”I kept trying to bring it back to politics and when I noticed she wouldn’t stop talking about food I just walked away. The funny thing is I really did just go to the convenient store to buy those processed meat sticks and some Lays chips. I hate restaurant food because it’s always mixed and I can’t eat food that touches other food.I don’t know how to direct these conversations and need some How To Win Friends and Influence People kind of shit
Oh you’re autistic. You gotta lead with that lol
>>33676926>don’t know how to direct these conversations and need some How To Win Friends and Influence People kind of shityou've never read those books at all or you'd know you can't do thatthere's all carrot and no stick with directing convos you can only direct if they're really into you and go in any direction you take it. if they're not biting you have to become a more interesting story teller
>>33676926>my aunt doesn’t give a shit about things that don’t affect her life or yours in any meaningful way why won’t she talk about this stuff?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
>>33677088Food, money, celebrity stuff, health, travel doesn’t affect your life in any meaningful way so why do Normies talk about it
>>33676926Your problem is (probably) that you were trying to avoid answering her question. The trick is to *answer* their question, but in a way that segues into what you want to talk about. You: "Oh, the food was great! First day of the conference we had this buffet lunch with these amazing vol-au-vents, that were stuffed with olives and all kinds of things; they had these little red flags on cocktail sticks stuck in them. And Joseph Smith picks one up and starts singing 'We'll keep the red flag flying here!' and everyone laughed. I can't remember, did I mention Joseph Smith?"Her: "No."You: "Oh, he was the keynote speaker at the conference. Really amazing guy! He had this fascinating theory about the way that support for Socialism is inversely proportional to the wealth of a country. You'd think it would be the other way round, wouldn't you?"And so on.
>>33676926poltics is fucking dumb dont cramp everyone style whos just looking for a good time. if you want to talk about that stuff join a group that meets specifically for that like a poltics or philosophy club or something
