I want to message my friend, but I don't know what to say. Please help? (I literally have zero social skills)?
Hi,I want to message my friend whom I recently met, and we've only spoken to each other 3 times to say Hi, since we haven't talked in a while. But I've never had any friends before I'm serious. so this is my very first friend in life, and I don't want to blow it... . And I don't really know what to say in the message. I'm worried I'll say something stupid. Do I just say ''Hi, how are you?'' Is that stupid? What do you guys think I should say?Thanks
Where can I train my social skills and make friends?
For the last couple of years after I graduated I've pretty much just lived in my room 95 % of the time. Wasting time listening to music and reading things online. I've always had social issues Intense fear of being judged so that's the reason I stayed alone. Anyway, I started eating healthier and exercising daily to try make me feel better, and it give me more energy focus, but idk where to find people my age to hang out with... I'm planning on college in a few months but I'm so tired of living this way and I constantly think about suicide, I hate being all alone, its the worst feeling in the world. Where should I go when I literally have no friends... I was thinking of the mall, but going alone seems weird, don't you think?
How do you make friends when you have bad social skills?
I just now realized that I technically have 'no friends'. I have never had anybody come over to my house just to hang out and no one has ever invited me over either. I have a very hard time talking to anyone, including my own parents. I feel like it's important to have friends outside of the few people you talk to in school. How do you gain social skills that would help you make friends?
Poor social skills because of ADHD?
I am smart woman in my 30 s , however, I have been diagnosed as having ADHD. I can handle most of its symptoms but what bothers me the most is my inability to behave in an accepted manner, especially with strangers. I have tried to " improve" my attitude but it seems out of my hand. Most people I meet for the first time take a less than nice impression about me, sometimes I am even faced with frank ignoring or rejection, which leaves me feeling down almost everytime I deals with new people. I am disappointed because I cannot convey to people the real me, I am an honest genuine kind person to those who know me well. How can I deal with this disappointments I face almost everyday. I am on the verge of getting depressed .I guess people expierince me as rude, propable becuase I have difficulty controling my emotions. I tend to look angrey easily when someone upsets me. Also, my inattentiveness may be percives as disinterst in others. And sometimes I cannot choose the appropriate way to behave in a situation.
I cannot communicate properly, and have no social skills.?
I hate it when people walk up to me, seeing that i'm twitching nervous and quiet and ask " hi, whats your name? Are you shy? Are you in college?" and go on and on and on. I really tremble in crowds, and I hyperventillate when confronted. How should I deal with social situations im uncomfortable in? Act mean and tell people to " get lost " or what? Being mean and standoffish is what I do now, and it seems to keep people away from me, which is a good thing. I cant see a therapist until the 27th and since age 11 ive never been cured of this. Ive been through sooo many doctors. I've been prescribed for meds for mania, anxiety, depression... Im 19 now and want a job and to attend university to become a veterinarian. Things dont look so hopeful PS I know the title isnt a question, but I want advice on how to cope with people other than meaness. People tend to think im stuck up... I also asked this in 2 sections for better answers. Tyvm mental health

Don't answer if you were about to give a motivational speech.

I need to improve my social skills and outlook on life. Can anyone help me?
I'm going to be talking about a lot of my personality flaws that may make you think I'm a terrible person, but I'm saying this in the hopes that I can find solutions to my problems and to work on those flaws. So if you feel the need to attack me after reading this, please move on. I really don't need those kind of responses right now.To start off, I can't really say I've ever had an engaging social life, and since I left high school in 2009, the small amount of social activity I had all but disappeared. I find it extremely difficult to partake in casual conversation, not just because I get nervous and act a little awkward, but because I bore very quickly. I have a very particular sense of humor and set of interests that have really made it hard for me to relate to a lot of people. For starters, I enjoy being creative in all fields of media, such as writing music and lyrics, filming, photography, voice acting, sculpting, graphic and sound design, and animating. I live in the middle of Oklahoma, so you can imagine how hard it is for me to find others who share the same interests. And although I do have a few people who try to be friendly towards me, I find it extremely difficult to share that same kindness, as I find those people somewhat annoying.The way the world views me is always something that bothers me. I'm really self aware, and I live in a town full of people that genuinely hate me due to ethnic issues that I don't want to discuss . I've tried to learn to brush it off, but it seems to have influenced the way I present myself to others, which is really defensive and cautious. I try to maintain a positive outlook, I really do, but it's as if I receive negative reactions from everyone around me on a daily basis. It's affected me for a long time, even prevented me from getting a few jobs. I have a very dysfunctional family, and I don't have one person that I can confide in that has my trust and even I did, I'm sure I'd drive them away somehow . That has also affected my romantic relationships, I've been single since I graduated, and I've tried to start friendships with a few women, but I always end up at square one, bored and uninterested. There was a time when I was somewhat thin and attractive, and I did go on a few dates, but everything I've went through regarding financial struggles, doing without, and being left behind by people I considered friends has left me in a constant state of depression, and it seems more and more illogical to tell myself everything will get better with time.The only reason I'm writing this now is because today, I slept for 18 hours, not out of exhaustion, but because every time I woke up, I stopped to think if I had a reason to get out of bed, and on all five occasions, I couldn't think of one reason. It needs to stop. I know I can be better than this and I want to do better for myself. But I keep feeling that if I were to come close to death tomorrow, it wouldn't fight it. So if anyone has any advice, please, now is the time to tell me what I can do to change this.
