anons, i am the worst at conversing/talking, shit social skills overall. will just spamming social interactions help me? it's costing me a lot in interviews. i'm thinking of showing up on a little bit of alcohol to loosen up.

Yes think of it like a video game. Just spam conversations until you level up enough to defeat the hiring manager sub boss.

well, I mean spamming conversations irl. Can you believe I went through college and didn't improve my social skills? I'm fucking retarded. I went through uni mostly alone, superficial interactions out of my refusal to talk to people.

Yeah that's what I mean. Spam conversations IRL. Go ride public transit and talk to whoever you sit next to. Nice captive audience there.

it probably isn't. You're feeling insecure, but you have to loosen up and recognize that these people might need a guy, but more likely they already lined up someone else for the job or it's not even real right now. It's not actually your fault at all.

Image training, bro. Stand in your room and talk out loud to yourself as if you're responding to questions from an interviewer. If you're worried you're making retarded expressions, you can do it in front of a mirror too.

It depends on your starting point. Cause for me it doesn't work to just throw myself at conversations cause I always just fall flat. Unless I'm making a conceited effort to focus on a certain aspect of my talking I just revert to what I know which is being a social retard. I do better just writing what I want to say, then practicing that till it sounds okay.

What I'm saying is that yes it can work but you need to be auditing yourself somehow otherwise you will just be the same social retard except with less social anxiety.
