And for that reason I just don't know what to talk about with people. My social life is holding me back from enjoying a lot of experiences.
No im not working right now but im looking for a job maybe that can help me a lot. I have the average credits hour (17). I have plenty of time I just dont do anything with it.

Right now my goal is to graduate but I need to quit this routine because its killing me.
I don't suppose you would benefit from reading books by Don Gabor? They're a little cheesy but they helped socialization seem less daunting. Of course, in the end, the only person who could help me was myself. If you struggle with shyness or rusty social skills, there comes a point where you have to suck it up and talk to people anyway. Otherwise, you'll become even more awkward and uncomfortable around people while your bookshelf accumulates the works
of Dale Carnegie, Don Gabor, and other people who 'can magically change you.'
