If you're as powerless as me than no
new question, does being socially inept mean you have confirmed autism?
>>38897015
not completely... you can improve it a lot though. You gotta do more normie stuff like work and make an effort.

We used to try to cure it. Back in the 40's, 50's and 60's, part of the public schools was "mental hygiene"; where they would try to fix people who deviated too much from the norm.
Here's some old videos aimed at people who had trouble socializing:

mental hygiene class sounds like it would've really helpful for me, maybe even put me on a path to become a cyborg. but instead, I chose to go into art class to further distance myself as an outcast with my sketchbook of crude anime fan art
i wonder what the art teachers thought of me

Yes, you just need plenty of social experience until you can carry yourself. I've started going to random bars and other random social places in different towns where i gain social experience with different people each time, so if i fuck up too bad i don't have see or meet certain people again
just start trying to be social, even if you're retarded and get laughed at, you will find friends eventually
Yes, just talk to people. Get a retail job or do volunteer work if you want to force yourself to get over it.
