If I have to pretend to be someone I'm not to have a social life, I'd rather not. Fortunately, there are plenty of people I get on with fine opening with stuff I actually find interesting, and they collect into large social groups and gatherings where you can find your people and be authentic.
The trick is to build a social network that's compatible with who you are and not try to live up to a standard set by those socialites who are able to talk to anyone at any party. I have excellent social skills. I've done that. I can do that. It got boring fast.
