I would recommend focusing on what makes you happy and finding a way to balance the competing interests. For example, when you more or less say you're uninterested in most conversations relevant to your current experiences and political interests, the first thing that comes to mind for me is, so why are you having those conversations? Presumably you get something out of human connection and spending time with family, but important aspects of it no longer interest you. So the real task is to figure out how to balance those things. Obviously you can just do trade-offs, like taking breaks or scheduling fewer actions. But there's something deeper that is probably more useful: what is lacking, for you, about these conversions?
I would speculate that you might benefit from some "antisocial" time. Time away from people, punctuated by the (still valuable!) time with people. You might be, to put it simply, burned out from repetitive thoughts and discussions.
The next thing is variety. How can you inject it into the repetitive? Are there any interests you have but haven't explored? Anything you've wanted to do but haven't? Anything about a loved one that you'd like to support? These are all good ways to take ownership over the situation. Maybe suggest new activities with tglhe people you interact with.
Simply put, you sound bored and exhausted, and are attaching some of that to other people. You can't control them, so see what you can do yourself to combat them on your own terms.
Edit: out of curiosity, when you look up the term "anhedonia" and descriptions of its effects on people, does any of it resonate with you?
