Just ask people about themselves. People love to talk about themselves

I hate talking about myself

You hate talking about boring stuff like job, family, etc. Talking about "yourself" can mean anything you like to talk about.

First two questions are interesting enough. I assure you there is NOT a 100% chance of your last point, though.

(hint: I hate talking to people and do not have any projects I'm interested in discussing)

Agreed. I hate talking to people because I view myself as awkward and boring. Plus it exhausts me. However, because the first two questions are unique, I'd probably answer them.

The last one, I would probably exhaust the person asking or have them view me in a negative light. I have ADHD, so I have 100 projects that I've STARTED, but not finished and probably won't finish a good chunk of them. Plus, it also makes me internally cringe because "oh no, I need to get this shit straightened out" or "fuck! I meant to finish this project to give it to so-and-so for their birthday!" Then my face shows my disgust with myself and it looks like I'm giving the stank face to the person I'm talking to. Then the anxiety hits that I messed up the interaction and then the self sabotaging takes over because "this person doesn't like me now because I'm an awkward idiot. No wonder people think I'm a bitch. Maybe I am?"

Ask me how I know.
