Be yourself. True friends are going to be accepting and loving even if you're a little awkward.

But myself is shit.

I want to be be able to enjoy parties and bars and clubs.

>>16895228
Be someone else then.

>>16895238
How?

Start easy. Don't expect to suddenly be what you want just by following some magic technique. It takes time and dedication and is a hard fucking climb, but you can start easy and gradually challenge yourself to me more outgoing.

How do I start? Could you be more specific?

>>16895270
Start a conversation with a stranger. Try to make them engaged in the conversation.

PROTIP: Their interest/disinterest may not always be within your control

PROTIP: You're a brainless manchild

>>16895275
I've talked to strangers before, I've made a few friends that way, I've also been looked at like I was crazy

What's the next step?

>>16895270
Well where are you now? Maybe you could be more specific. What do you mean by awkward, what do you mean by social situation, and what is your image of a fun person?

Get drunk. Hope you're not an annoying drunk.

Get hobbies... get good at something and find people who enjoy what you enjoy. Get a hacky sack. You'll be known as that guy with the hacky sack.
