How can you find happiness when your friends always talk about things that you generally don't want to discuss?

I'm actually a little surprised nobody has offered the obvious solution yet. If you and your friends have different interests, values, or intellectual frameworks, and you don't like talking with your friends, perhaps that means it's time to invest in a different set of friends!

In my experience, you don't have to simply accept whatever default social circle comes along. You can consciously, intentionally choose your friends, and when you do, you generally end up with a high-quality circle of awesome people around you.

What do you like talking about? What interests you? Find other people with the same interests. Make a set of awesome friends.
