For me it's detailed describtions about people's dreams.

Not only doesn't your story make any sense, but you're also telling me about something that didn't even happen. It's kind of like telling about an event, and then ending the story by saying you just made it all up, except with dreams you begin by telling it's all made up. I'm already not interested before you even started.

Any rant that I've heard from the same person more than a few times

I either don't talk to people much except for cutesy convos about weather or something or I know them well and im generally cool about whatever they want to talk about. At first I thought you meant online things which omg there are so many things but I block and subscribe my way to getting what im interested in.

Health related bullshit like a "cleanse" and other woowoo health shit, especially when people talk authoritatively about it. Look, Jenny, you obviously don't know shit about what you are talking about because you wouldn't be talking about it if you did.

If you need a cleanse, your fucking kidneys and liver are broken. Seek help.

Nutrition. I spent years reading about nutrition to the point of being afraid to eat basically anything, I went to a "nutritionist" school with a strong anti animal product bent.

I don't want to hear your nutrition "facts." If it works for you, good for you! If you want my advice about what works for me, I'll freely give it when asked. But literally every research based bit of nutrition advice can be contradicted with another bit of research based nutrition advice and most people are working with a model of nutrition science from about 1995.

I swear if I have to listen to one more emotional to the point of tears monologue about the perils of soy/dairy/meat/gluten/carbs/cholesterol/saturated fat/vegetables/"modern fruits"/grains/unfermented foods/bioaccumulated whatevers/etc WHILE I'M TRYING TO EAT, I may take advantage of my pointy food weapons.

Eat what makes you feel vibrant and leave everyone else alone.

any vent or rant that comes out of nowhere.. if ppl ask me if i'm in a good headspace to listen before saying anything, ofc that's cool! but ppl who just walk up and start talking about their bullshit i don't care about are super annoying imo

Stuff that's entirely subjective, like their enjoyment of TV shows, movies, how they feel about religion, etc.

I get that these things mean a lot to the speaker, but its just a statement I can either agree with or disagree with. I can't really have a conversation, since it's personal preference.

That's rough. My heart goes out to you on that one. If you don't mind me asking, what is it about for example a movie that you have trouble conversing? Is is a lack of caring about the movie itself so it is along the lines of you can say you liked it or not but were not invested enough to talk about plot points or which actors did well?

I try these days to just think of the characters and see if they had a purpose of being there, and if they did, what that purpose was to see if maybe it could have been better represented. All of which is opinionated as you said, it isn't facts so I am never right, but at least I get to imagine a slightly different version in my head for a second that might give me a chuckle.

I didn't see Star Wars until I was in my twenties. It isn't a great set of movies. A lot of people really like it. And now power to them! But it's not a great conversational gambit.

I sent you a dm, sorry if I sent something you don't care to read, it was meant as a message to let you know I care
