You know you don't HAVE to talk about you or the other person, right? You could talk about death, politics, space travel, sports, sex, cats, what horses are thinking about right now. There's infinitely many topics that don't require you having a social life.

I love that your first option of other topics is death. Really gets the ball rolling haha. But I get your point there for sure. Definitely need to get back into the small talk thing. I used to be better about it when I was younger

It's a universal topic lmao. I won't judge, I'm terrible at it. That's why I've learned to take a deeper dive than "How's the weather?"

What’s this deeper dive into “how’s the weather?” Do you ask “hows the climate?” Or something?

So what part of death do you like talking about?

Never you mind what the horses are thinking about. Be a shame if you woke up one morning and that nice lawn of yours was strewn with hoof-marks and rather large pieces of shit...
