I feel that if others cannot relate to you, the onus should not be on you to change yourself to accomodate them.
But I do realize that everyone wants to fit in and have pleasant and enjoyable social experiences. What seems to be the problem, specifically? Is it that you don't have things in common (music, films, interests, etc), or is it the inability to communicate those like interests? Every social group, regardless of age or location, is going to have the airheads and brain-dead morons, that's a given. But according the law of averages, there should be some people with genuine intellects which may appeal to you, it may just take some digging to pry it out of them.

The problem is that it just seems that I have nothing AT ALL in common with anyone I've met my age, both with the actual interests themselves and also the way these people think. As I said, most girls to me seem to be superficial- they're interested in their clothes or hair or whatever, yet show little ability to show interest in anything else.
@Plum: It's a problem because at the moment I look like a pretentious asshat and as a result, people my age think I'm snobby.
