Very briefly (I don't have a lot of time this morning since I slept in!

)
How much time are you spending consciously interacting with people? Most people seek further education when they really need more experience. The more experience you have the easier it is to implement skills you read about in "dry dock". Plus you know more precisely where you're fumbling?
What exactly do you want to achieve in a given situation? Knowing the what, the outcome, makes it so, so much easier to align your actions with it.
Do you want a unified group? Can you see benefits in being able to move in a variety of social groups?
What qualities do you want to have? Knowing this, you can more easily find out who you want to associate with.
Hopefully these questions will help you clear up some things, then movement should be easier.
Lots of love,
