What can you do to help not be so nervous around people? I have

Go out and be among people. Social skills can be improved with practice. If you are currently unemployed I recommend getting a job in customer service. It will force you to talk to others.

I was mute freak monster and after I graduated high school I got a job as a cashier. I was HORRIABLE at first, but after awhile my social skills really began to improve.
I still have my off days; especially if I'm not feeling great, but everyone does: you can't be perfect 100% of the time.

That's a good idea. I had a job as a cook and a dishwasher but those weren't very social and I never really got to know the other employees because I would just show up and do my work.

Don't do it at work, you'll just embarrass yourself. If you make mistakes at work you could be fired.

My advice would be to seek out other people who have the same interests as you

Realistically how would someone with bad social skills attract strangers? The Anon needs to practice and work on their social skills. He can do this by working a job in customer service. He's not only practicing his social skills, but he's also getting paid.

You don't get fired for being socially retarded. Unless you screw up; don't show up to work, your continuously short, you steal money from the registrar (they have cameras), etc. they won't fire you for bad social skills. Fuck, many grocery store workers are actually mentally retarded. if they can do it; so can you.

He doesn't need to go into customer service lolol that's diving into the deep end.

Get any warehouse style job or manual labor, I'm not talking digging trenches but if that's what you wanna do then go for it.

You'll meet enough people to practice talking but not so many that you'll be overwhelmed and even if you don't talk to anyone in a warehouse job you can get away with it no problems

I worked for 6 weeks in a mail sorting facility and it helped me meet people and learn to smalltalk a bit better. The camaraderie between min wage workers can be nice too, you all know you're getting fucked by the system and it makes a good conversation piece with some people. My team just constantly talked shit about bosses and life and whatever while we sorted mail for 8 hours straight.

stop watching porn

are you me?
this is exactly the same thing i suffer from.
from what i've learned from my experience, its an inability to express oneself - i needed to talk to more and more people and slowly get comfortable and then i would be able to talk and at the same time, think about what to say next as well

im still not good at it, but im slowly getting there
and you will too
