I know I'm scared, scared shitless, I've never in my life seen anything so strange, and frightening as this. You seem to see right through everyone--to their very souls! I feel like Clarice facing Hannibal Lector through bars of the internet!

Nobody thought you were a sociologist, they know you're a kid. They were just trying to take you seriously about something, anything. Just because people seem predictable to you doesn't mean you understand them. I know I'm going to go to my absurd futile job in a while, but I don't know why. Are people trying to put you in your place or help you out of a hole you're in? Both, probably, mixed motives. And there's a thing called a spurious correlation.

You're right, though, this is funny, in the Andy Kaufman vein. It's one of those embarrassing, awkward, icky uncomfortable situations you can't get away from, you can't just walk out on his bad comedian character, you have to watch.
