I probably was never a
>complete social retard
by 4chan standards, but I went from being noticeably bad and unwilling to put myself in those situations, to being good at telling stories, entertaining people and even sometimes being the life of the party.
things that helped
>retail job where I had to help and counsel a lot
>eventually finding a job I love where I occasionally meet new people who are happy to meet me
>becoming fit and confident in my body, and optimizing my general appearance
>alcohol & party drugs (not as a crutch, but as a way to discover other ways to behave and other facets of my personality. a single dose of mdma changed me for the better) which I dont use anymore
>newfound success with women thanks to all the above
this was a ~15 year long process
