No social skills

what's the point when social skills are what really matter?

>alone and at home last night, like every night
>while the Chad's that got promoted are out with their bros at bars or clubs

brain gains don't even matter, my bosses have less job specific knowledge than me.

how do i stop being socially retarded, help Veeky Forums

>tfw i think of how life would have been different if i knew how to have conversations and wasn't a shy loser
how do i recover and turn things around

you stop being a fucking pussy and do it

This
Socialising is a skill, and skills have to be practiced to improve
You don´t get better at something by being a little bitch who sitting on his ass all day

Buy some fucking benzos on deepweb and go out.
Just dont drink, it will fuck you up.

Everything is piss easy ones your fucked up on pills.
Turn to drugs. Seriously, if you're this depressed and stuck, try something new.

pop some psychedelics to relax and it will come naturally

Just practice you mug. Go out right now and start talking to people. I managed to stop being a sperg by starting off chatting about the weather with people over counters in shops etc.

Practice practice practice

Same op, I'm trying phenibut for the first time today.

Any beginner programs out there for socializing skill gains?

>ask on "Health and Fitness" for advice
>get recommended drugs

Never change Veeky Forums

Congratz, you have peaked! You are good at what you do, but not good enough for a higher position. Or/and you lack the basic social skills to be a leader.

Enjoy your life now, it's downhill from here.

it's just /fitness/ now you fucking dweeb

yeah. real life 1 x failure.

honestly though, just go to places you'll never go to again so your fuckups aren't permanent and start experimenting in social situations.

you'll make lots of mistakes but it doesn't matter. every mistake is a light weight rep on your way up to a heavy weight social deadlift

t. former autist

You actually deal with your problems.

This has nothing to do with fitness ,and yet here you are on a fitness board asking for help. Why? You don't have anywhere better to go? How the fuck do you think Veeky Forums is going to help you with your depression and social anxiety?

>YEAH BRO I JUST GET Veeky Forums SO I CAN SLAY CHICKS :-DDDDDD

Fuck off you gimp.

fuck off

I had no friends for years since I had moved to a new city and I'm bad at socializing. Joined a kickball league. Got some friends and even a hipster half-puerto rican gf.

It isn't that i don't want him to get help, it's that this is an anonymous Japanese pop culture board, and he should actually sit down and talk to someone who can really help him.

There are a lot of people on here with actual depression, and they think bitching about it on Veeky Forums will help. It fucking won't.

Stfu you triple nigger. This place is a thousand times better than going to a Jewish shrink.

>hipster half-puerto rican gf

1. stop being an autistic faggot and needing a fucking routine for everything.
2. start small. really small. every time you go to the grocery store or whatever from now on, force yourself to smile at the cashier (wait until it's your turn dingus dont smile at them as soon as you get in line if theres 3 people ahead of you) and ask them how their day is going. be engaged but you dont have to have a full on conversation. then tell them to have a nice day.
3. practice eye contact, quick smile flashes, and small passive greetings. (if you go grab a coffee in the morning and pass someone, brief eye contact and a quick 'good morning' with a genuine smile. thats it.)
4. once youre comfortable with this, take those passive greetings a step further and ask the person something about themselves. (it's easier if they have a book or something interesting about them. 'what book are you reading? is it any good? this book i know sounds similar and you might enjoy it. etc etc.'
4. REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT. keep making yourself comfortable initiating conversation and asking questions about other people.
5. there are no rules to how long a conversation should last and you aren't going to know how long the other person is comfortable talking to you for. maybe they're busy and just want a quick chat who knows. maybe they don't want to talk at all and will be very callous and cold. point is; you're going to feel like you've embarrassed yourself many times. GET THE FUCK OVER IT. being nice and considerate doesn't take any extra time out of your day and eventually will take no extra effort. but you're gonna have to man up and take those shakey first steps, no one is going to approach you dying for your friendship and affection.

cont.

do phenibut instead

No, social skills are all that matter when you're already attractive. You have to be attractive for social skills to work. Otherwise you're just creepy.

6. get off fucking Veeky Forums m8. the few slightly funny memes or top tier threads aren't worth the negative and toxic environment this place is. it will keep you in the mindset that you are an outsider not worthy of this or that. you are, you just have to go fucking work for it and get it yourself. normies dont have good social lives because the world gave it to them, normies have social lives because they go and socialize.
7. find an interest and hobby that you'd like to get into that involves being around other people and that forces you out of the house. (lifting doesn't count bc i know you just go to the gym, keep your headphones in, and dont interact with anyone except the girl at the counter (you remembered to tip her right?)) check meetup.com or some shit like that, only YOU know what interests you, and those first few meetups are going to be awkward. REALLY awkward, but with anything, repetition is key and the more you interact with the same people the closer you will get to them.
8. fuck, i dunno man. i didn't even mean to make this this long and in this list format but hopefully it helps. just take it one step at a time, get comfortable with failing, and just go for it. theres 7 billion people in the world, not all of them are gonna want to be your friend but a good handful of them will.

phenibut is tite but work on your skills without a crutch first. then go to drugs for the enhancement. and only use it once a month or else you fuck your shit up.

Yeah maby start with phenibut and do benzos if its too weak.
I once did klonopin and pheni at the same time and it was fucking impossible to get stressed about anything. Amazing feeling...

Start looking for a new job.

join a club, meet up, something, and find folks that want to go out.

I forgot to add, you have the most important thing, a job. If you have some disposable income, separate from your monthy-weekly savings you should be going out.
