Does not compute. The more you talk to people, the better you will be at it. So yeah, go and talk to people.

Practice makes perfect.

I like talking to people, but I'm bad at it and often embarrass myself or run out of things to say.

Focus on being interested in the people you are with rather than on your own shyness, ask questions. should be easy to become rather agreeable.

I was an extraordinarily shy child. I used to walk around the playground by myself and dream of having friends. Every once in a while, a kid would push me into the dirt, or I'd try to get on the play set and again get pushed into the dirt. We moved a lot when I was really little, and I was in school young, and was always the tiniest. In middle school, teachers made fun of me whenever I dared raise a hand to answer a question because I didn't ever talk.

I had some friends, but we were the shy, nerdy types. I could talk to them, but everyone else scared me.

When I was about 15, I really started to put in effort to fix it. By the time I was a senior in high school, I became totally accepted, and 'popular,' and threw the best fucking parties. I went to the craziest party school in the country. I just kept working at it.

Now I'm a high level marketing exec and no one can imagine me being quiet at all. You can do it, anon. We all can if we try. No more being pushed in the dirt.

Suave and charismatic? Possible but unlikely

No more a doofus than anyone else? Very possible, in facgt probable if you keep improving.

Three important steps here
>get a haircut
>take a shower
>become confident
then this will solve itself.

Not op. I'm stuck on the third one

Social skills are learned, seek leadership and volunteer opportunities that forces you to work with people and develop communication skills amongst other benefits. I used to have no friends throughout high school and my first half of college. Now I'm invited to frat parties, made my name known in a lot of groups and organizations, more than enough friends, and a couple real close relationships. Next step is a gf

>Do you know anybody who went from social autist to Chad after practice?

"Chad" doesn't exist, so... If you mean got friends and got laid, then "yes". I've seen it happen.

>Is it even possible for me to become socially suave and charismatic?

How about you start small? Don't imagine James Bond and expect to be him. Make your first goal be "feel more comfortable" or "make two new friends" or something that's a step up.

>I think my bad social skills are genetic from my mom.

That's stupid.

Here's what you do, note only do this ater having your hair cut and taking a shower.
You say "I am confident". Now you are confident and the issue is solved.

>>18656227
>get a haircut
Not op but why this ? I have long hair and I like it, I am not confident or anything like that but I have a great and friends, why cutting the hair is going to change something?
