I realize I’m kind of a boring stuffy person

It’s been hard as I think people don’t like me and find it hard to connect with me.

Any advice on how to navigate the world?

First step would be to stop judging yourself and others. Labeling yourself and others in order to put everyone in boxes is inherently limiting. Why place yourself into the “can’t make witty banter” box like this? It’s a skill like anything else. Unless the reason is that you want to “other” those who make witty banter.

Most people around here are boring. No one does anything but work and raise kids. Limited hobbies, travel, volunteer work, parties, etc.

OP, I was at a party last night with a highly extroverted, witty person and they were *exhausting*! I wish you were there so we could have talked quietly and deeply about things that matter to us.
