I'm Not Sure If I Understand Friendships or if I'm Overthinking It.

Advice Needed

Is it okay to talk about hobbies, interests Is it okay to talk about goals, accomplishments. Is it okay to talk about work. Is it okay to talk about NSFW.

Do people like me for who I am, or should I try to do things differently. What happens if my mental health makes it so that I only feel comfortable by being quiet because living requires too much effort and energy and it causes me chest pain? Wouldn't people be disinterested if I only do what makes me feel comfortable?

Should I make friends with people by doing what they might like or might make them feel good. Should I try to be friends with people by doing what I feel comfortable doing? Should I give up on making friends because of social anxiety, fears, depression, etc.
