What is it that bores you about other people? And what do you think would happen if you actually tried to show empathy and came up with the wrong response? Better to find people/situations that you really are interested in than try to fake it with people you aren't. Lurkette and Empu have got good points though. Things like obsessing over your hair or video games are just symptoms, not the root of the problem, and to figure it out you're probably going to have to look a lot deeper into yourself.

As for the typing, it's a lot easier to be honest over the internet than face to face. You don't have to worry about how people will react right away, and you can go back and censor anything you've typed. (Which by the way is usually not a good idea 'cause it only takes you further from the truth.)
