How can I not be an introvert?
It's ruining my fucking life and I feel like there's no hope. I'm 22 and my early 20's are being pissed away in isolation. I feel like I could be in prison and it wouldn't make a difference.
Before you say "omg just put yourself out there!" I recently moved to the other side of the world and have been trying constantly to change my life but now I'm stuck again in isolation but this time i don't even have my family
I'm fucking desperate
Join meetup.com and see what's going on around you. If you don't like anything, pick the meetup which you dislike the least and keep going to it for 3 months or so. Get to know people's names and let them know you.
Short of that, introduce yourself to your neighbors. Memorize their names. Every once in a while stop by and say hi. Bake em cookies, kick a soccer ball around. Jeezus...
Don't set your expectations for yourself too high. If you are really introverted, set small goals and then work up to larger ones.
Good luck OP, it's definitely do-able, you just have to endure some discomfort at first, but it will get easier.
Pretending not to be somebody else would be a good start scarp eating sack of shit

Extroverts claim to be introverts all the time, why shouldn't the opposite happen (aside from failing hard)?

Uh, yeah?
Wtf, do you know me?
The only solution is to befriend other introvers. If you manage to get extroverted friends your life quality will get even worse.

Ive had extroverted friends before and its been cool. It just depends who they are.
Full on normies do make things worse though

Question is how do you find other introverts?

Extroverts are mostly normies.
I had one, he pissed me off internally, just fucking envied him. Not his fault but didn't feel (even more) worthless every time I hung out with him.

*didn't want to feel (even more) worthless every time I hung out with him.
I'm assuming you have interests that are non-vidya and 4chan? Join a club, talk to people.

>talk to people
What does that even mean? Just randomly start conversations with strangers?
I can barely keep a conversation with people I know.
