Everybody has some level of confidence inside of them.
A shy person doesn't need to just stop being shy, or change their personality.
They just need to slowly reach out of that comfort zone and start exploring the confidence that is laying dormant inside of them.
Anybody who is reading this and feels hopeless should remember that this comes from small baby steps.
Don't force yourself to go to a shitty club tonight and assume you'll be able to force yourself to be social/confident in just a night.
Set small obtainable goals, try joining skype group and talking to people online.
Try a new food or recipe that you've never had.
Wear an item of clothing that you've never felt that you could pull off, but have always wanted to.
Build it up slowly, the way you level skills in an RPG.
You can do this, I believe in you.

I became a nicer person through meditation, you learn a lot about yourself from objectively viewing your own thoughts and it's an amazingly handy skill to be able to calm yourself on cue.

Although my problem was being basically sociopathic, the opposite of the average robot problem, but I think it'd still help since you all seem perpetually anxious and overthinking everything.

But what causes somebody to be unlikeable?
Lack of self confidence.
Lack of self confidence causes you to have weak charisma because you don't seek social situations or to try new things.

>>26300111
No, people are unlikable because they exhale shit. Nobody likes a shit exhaler. To shit exhalers everything is shit.

and the world is only accommodating for baby steps to be taken by babies

Two small doses of LSD worked for my anxiety in general. It only worked because it was a change I genuinely wanted to make.
I'm awkward and shy sometimes but that's just me. Just do your on thing and "fuck the haters" being yourself attracts others who are similar and people who aren't don't pay any mind to you : )

>>26301028

Why in this story do you sound completely superior to everyone? Is this real life or do you have a narcissistic personality disorder? Something ain't very real about this green text here

>>26301738
>Two days later in new country. No connections or Money, still weird as fuck, not a chad. But very confident now.
>Make new friends by insisting we do my weird stuff, if you are confident enough people will just follow you.
>Meet some nice girls, its different now, not obsessing or becoming completely absorbed. Get simi serious with one.
>Emotional connection makes sex amazing, it is like I am fucking the universe and loosing my ego simultaneously
>moves away eventually, but now I can have healthy relationships with girls
>since then been with african girls, Chinese, white, Middle easterns...
>does not sleep half of the nights because research for school is so interesting that I work on half a dozen of projects even though I have funding from scholarship.
>talk with parents and sister (sister always defended me from bullies when I was young) everyone is happy.

well, sorry for the rant, never wrote or told my story before. But what is my point from all this OP?
Going full normie won't make anything better. Neither will holding a grudge. I ended up just doing what I enjoyed since childhood, and only became happy when I decided that fuck everyone. The lesson is not "BE YOURSELF" though, if my parents did not push me out of my comfort zone in middle school, or if I did not drop everything I have to start from nothing hundred of miles away I would still be miserable.

I just found my centre only when I forgave previous transgressions and followed my own path, not a robot, and not a normie. Just enthusiastic kid with high hopes and weird obsessions like I was 20 years ago.

>Lack of self confidence causes you to have weak charisma because you don't seek social situations or to try new things.

but i do. thing is i cant deepen human relationships. the people i meet and get in contact when "trying new things and places" soon go away and lose contact.

>>26301410
lsd did good first time. 2nd was just lots, hours of laughs but nothing else.

i do my thing, i dont have haters, in fact, i have lots of "fans" of the photography and music i do. but they like the work, not me.

>>26301823
Well, its completely subjective. Maybe my ego erased some of the bad memories to make me look good.

but you are right, I did not emphasise my failures. Well, then I will try to fix it.
>Practically laughed out from the orchestra I worked at because too awkward, and made people cringe (everyone hated me)
>I kept thinking everyone was normie scum, but missed the cool dude who later became my friend for years, thinking I had nothing to gain from associating with him, wanting to be friends with chads and stacies who disrespected me instead
>friends said I was an asshole who made them feel bad and sometimes laughed at them. Hopefully did them more good than bad, still working on being nicer to my friends, but years of resentment might have made me too sarcastic.
