My family doesnt have the best history of finding pleasure in others company. My mom and dad have admitted to staying with each other out of convenience. Grandparents before them were similar.
On some level, this is what you're expecting from relationships, but theirs doesn't have to be yours.

Since you have different interests, investing in your shared interests is a solid strategy, as is talking about your individual interests. The aim is to be able to be happy for each other, even if you have no clue what the other person is on about, or why they would find that subject interesting. Bolo likes strategy games and cute magical girls. I like old films and morbid historical horror stories. We have overlap, but we also have plenty of ways in which we couldn't be more different.

You can learn more about what brings them joy and fulfillment, and help bring them even more of that satisfaction. "Hey, isn't this kinda like that thing you like" is an attempt. Even if you're wrong, it shows that you're trying to understand and connect - which is often more than acquaintances or even friends may try to do.
