Hey, /adv/.
I need some help socially. I have no idea where I stand on the spectrum in my social life when it comes to my reputation/likability/popularity/etc. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get a read on anyone I know to see if I'm "popular" or just straight up cringey. I know for a fact that I've done a LOT of cringey shit, however, and I'm kindof leaning towards believing I'm retarded. Ask me any questions you need to, just tell me what the hell I am.
Give more detail mate

In what regard
I think the problem is your worrying about your likeability rather than just enjoying socializing
>>17328440
The problem is that it's become so bad that I can't enjoy socializing. People always give me mixed signals that I don't know if I'm stupid or not for not understanding

You don't spend enough time around people. Don't ever think that it's an innate problem. It's something you can fix by socializing more
I'd say just assume your the shit, because you are and if anyone feels negative towards you that's their own insecurity and ignorance , Work on building your confidence by reading books about it, and oh yea, your a fucking king dude don't let anyone tell you any different.
You're viewed low on the social ladder. I can tell this because you care enough about other people's opinions of yourself to go on an obscure taiwanese whale pornography image board and ask methods to determine your social hierarchy.
Seriously though, the key to living an enjoyable life is not give a fuck what Susie Q down the road thinks of your six pack abs. Who gives a fuck? Satisfy your own needs, goals and desires and fuck everyone else and their opinions.

Thx anon, and usually I would say that you're absolutely right. But the thing is, alot of the people I know DO think they're the shit, and they're the cringiest, worst pieces of shit in the neighborhood. Nobody likes them at all, always talking shit about them behind their backs. I'm worried that even if I don't think I'm the shit, that might be happening to me.

A lot of people are insecure and instead of trying to read their body language just understand that modern socialization has trained ppl to be worried about their ego, so they act odd when they feel threatened, but yeah just read books on body language, confidence etc. Don't be embarrassed to either bcuz its smart, it shows you have the initiative to make yourself a better person
>>17328473
They act that way because they don't have TRUE confidence, they know if they act stupid they will get a reaction so they do dumb shit, but sometimes ppl who actually have confidence do stupid stuff bcuz they actually don't care lol
>>17328471
Being completely honest, I don't care. Not about what people think about me, anyway. The problem is that every time I try to initiate a social situation with someone, like having a party or going to the movies with a couple friends, nothing happens. Either they have some thing they need to do or they just say they will and don't show up, saying "I forgot". I can't enjoy life without people, it just isn't going to happen. So I'm trying to figure out the root of the problem causing people to never actually go along with anything I offer them.
