i was unironically a neet recluse for 3 years and spoke to about

If it doesn't come easy, it was probably never there anon

Anon - This is a fitness forum. But if you must know you should take it slowly. Put simply the process is

1. Imagine who you want to be
2. Decide what you need to do to get there
3. Set goals around those actions
4. Do stuff and meet people along the way
5. Repeat step 4

Social skills come from meeting people. And meeting people is a process that goes both way. The more true you are to who you want to become (inb4 just be urself) the more likely you are to attract people that you genuinely want to hang out around. With the right people around you conversation should come naturally.

That said there are some tips you can pick up. Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people" is a good, short pick up. Essentially you can boil it down to treat people how you want to be treated, be genuinely interested in other people, and ask them questions that allow them to talk about themselves and interests while being a good listener (bonus points for remembering)

In the end your just going to need to practice but improving yourself a long the way is going to make it a lot easier.

Get off 4chan.

I have been talking to an awful lot of different people over the last ten years and all I have are two shitty omega almost virgins friends. Your NEET phase does not necessarily look like such a problem.

I'm also a NEET since 2014 except that I went /fit/ in the meantime, was already doing bodyweight exercises before, now I can 1/2/3/4 for 8-10 reps each.

I'm socially capable, but I haven't regularly talked to a girl since.
I need to get back to uni too.

>omega friends
Thank you I have finally found the term to express what my childhood friends were like.
In a way, having omega friends is worse than being alone.
Being alone means you know something is wrong and you will attempt to fix it.
Young me with omega friends meant that my social inappropriateness grows and festers unchecked because no one will tell me I'm being weird.

I'm suffering the alone stage now, but at least it's better than the omega friendship group stage. I hope it will get better.

Best post so far.

Why would anyone ironically be a neet shut in for three years?

Been NEET since 2005 here.

Only started coming on 4chan in 2012.

Been seeing a clinical psychologist this past year, seen a specialist as well. Diagnosed schizoid/schizotypal.

Turns out I've had this disorder my entire life because I can't remember being any other way.

Turning 30 soon, one of the psychologist I'm seeing says she feels hopeless working with me because I have nothing for her to "work with". She wants me on disability because she doesn't see me ever actually being capable of working in a normie environment.


Maybe I'm an extreme case though...not saying you should compare yourself to me, but who knows.
