Like I mentioned earlier, people generally feel as you do about close relationships (usually in laws unfortunately!) rather than acquaintances/regular friends. That’s why I pointed out that perhaps these people may perceive your interests a certain way and therefore cater their discussions around you accordingly, to be inclusive. Anyway, I was just trying to find out what type of relationships you were talking about and to make sense of why you felt about these people the way you do because your second paragraph about them also seemed to come out of nowhere.

oh i see the reason for the confusion. i wasn’t speaking of inlaws. the op asked about whether she had gone down the wrong path in order to be successful in life, and my point was simply that it’s hard to completely change yourself (nor do i think it is worthwhile to change yourself into someone you’re not just because you think it is what a random boy wants). it’s not just about the path you choose in life but about the kind of person you are. i was thinking specifically of family friends and girls i knew growing up with whom i did interact because they were part of our circle/community but didn’t really “connect” just because we didn’t really have much to share. when it’s actual close family like you mention, i think it is different, as mutual respect/love give you something to connect over, even if your personalities would not otherwise have brought you together. but i think that conversation is separate from the main point of this thread.
