You just understand how a conversation more easily progresses and get annoyed when others don't/don't make the appropriate efforts. I don't feel like it's weird, or negative at its core, but I do think it's important to remember not everyone is so aware and conversationally competent, and they're not doing it on purpose or necessarily because they don't care that much, but simply because they're ignorant. Idk. 🤷

In My experience allists often lack the social skills to engage in the normal give and take of a conversation. That's why they rely so much on small talk to keep a conversation going when neither participant has anything interesting to say.
Join an improv group. That's like their whole thing.

Do you have any interest in tabletop RPGs? Because you sound like you have the instincts to be a good DM/GM.

Not all IRL conversations are like online threads that continue with jokes until the thread becomes its own thing. Also context…? Memes and references are ok but it’s more a reflection of your brain and memory and how you are interpreting the information in front of you. Not all people hear something and return the most relevant reference, they might care more about person experiences or stories that are OC and not copy pasta they have seen before, hence the “I see what you did there” responses you get.
