Don't want to be a robot anymore. I'm 25 and going to be old as fuck in a year or two and will probably never have this chance again
How do I not embarass myself and be a complete wallflower? How do I learn to fake conversate? I have never drunk before but my current plan is to get drunk and then go. Is this a stupid idea?
If you're so shitty you should not drink for this but should drink every other day forever

I've gotten "tipsy" once before and was a lot more confident but my emotions went from feeling confident to feeling unwanted real fast. It can't make me worse, can it?

It will.
Drunk assburger is as bad as it sounds
Tried to practice all day on discord hopping into random channels.
Holy fuck this is hard. Can't force myself to talk.

Being inconfortable and exhausted are the first steps of learning, you just gott to keep it up.
If you want to be a social butterfly you have to work on your craft, in this case talk to people!

Drink a beer or two and talk to some people. But try not to talk to much and dont be pressured into drinking a lot.
DEFINETLY DRINK A LITTLE THOUGH. The worst thing you can do is go to a party and sit there sober with nothing to say. Drink a beer or two I guarentee you will be chatting. If someone invited you to a party whether it's out of pity or not they did you a huge favor. You know why? People at parties are super friendly, no matter how you look they will treat you equally unless theyre asshole, but everyone will see that. This is a great oppurtunity bro.
Just remember, drink a beer or two and make some friends.

a party is one thing, but not meeting anyone through four years of college is extreme. it's time to take responsibility for your lack of initiative instead of posting on 4chan about it.

Same situation as you actually. Except I just got over it a few weeks ago and now I use voice chat everyday. Find a small group of people you know to start, you can get over it.
I'm an Aspie, too, and most people just can't understand how we are. I'm over 50 and you just have to try. I think a couple of drinks will help, but don't get drunk. To be honest, I was really shy at your age and alcohol did help, but what really helped was xtc. Probably not a good idea, but I was very social. WTF, it was the eighties.

There will always be at least one other wallflower at every party. Go up to him/her and say "I'll pretend you talk to you and you pretend to talk to me, and nobody will realize how out of it we are."
You'll end up chatting about how much you hate parties, and have a good time.

You're overthinking it, for one thing. The only thing that will make real life social interaction more easy for you is socialising in real life. And if you've been invited to a party, that's the perfect opportunity to get started.
Definitely drink when you're there, but absolutely NOT before. And don't drink more than those around you are drinking. The last thing you want to be is the blubbering drunk when everyone else is just mildly buzzed. And, also, being incredibly drunk as an awkward depressed aspie could very well make you do something stupid that you will regret.
I have mild aspergers but parties/real life socialisation comes relatively naturally to me as an adult. But that's only because I took the opportunities that were given to me and ran with them. Towards the end of my teenage years I fell in with a group that started inviting me to a lot of small-medium sized parties where we would drink, listen to music, play multiplayer games, etc, and that really warmed me up to having a proper social life. Now, even if I'm somewhat socially awkward, I can still go to normie house parties or clubs and have a good night, because I eased myself into things well.
Obviously you're a lot older than I was at the time, but hey, 30 is the new 20 right? You have a great opportunity here. Don't waste it.

not OP but what do you mean by meeting anyone
like just meeting people?
I met a bunch of people in college but I definitely did not benefit one iota from the experience
