I have a very big social problem I need to overcome.
>20y/o still can't talk to people properly
>Both online and offline
>Hard time getting his point accross
>Hard time talking without stuttering.
>Says the wrong words most of the time.
How do I improve my social skills /adv/, does self-help books work?
Also is just getting into a lot of discussion, talking to a lot of people will make me better at this?

Practice makes perfect.

Talk to people. Join a group or an organization that interests you so you can form organic conversations. Speech therapy may also be helpful for the stuttering.

Well, I have, I guess I need to overcome my shyness lol.
Same here. It's like I never know what to say in the moment. I always think of it directly after the conversation. Lemme ask you, how "present" are you? I'm realizing that witnessing domestic abuse/general emotional neglect as child basically made me "pull back" from reality I think. I feel removed. Unless I force myself to, I could go all day without a thought passing my mind. It's like it's blank and I'm just running on subroutines or something. In conversations I usually can't think of much to say. I'll repeat the same stories over time just because I can't remember much else. I miss the truer meaning of people's words. Anyway! I'm also 20 and just realized this and it might be the same for you?

Stop shilling.
Do what this anon said >>18276301
Even online, for example, I joined a clan in a video game where we communicate in discord to make callouts during matches and random chat sometimes.

What if no one around me has similar interests/there's no organizations or events where people who share my interests gather? cause that's where i live

I am a victim of bullying as a in primary school, and a victim of verbal harassment till 15 or 16 years old (I believe I am somewhat autistic at that time I really don't care about anything pretty much, and this was before I watched anime and played video games).
I only gained confidence in college, however I got no one to talk to because I am bad at it and for some reason, in the college I go to (which is a computer studies institution), nobody likes anime and video games. Like what the hell man.
