Developing Social Skills

If I ask myself the question: "What do I dislike about myself?", I always answer: "That I'm not social enough".

Ofcourse that isn't the only thing I dislike. But it's the primary one, the first one that I always think of. To change this, I need to develop my socials skills.

I'm.... afraid!

First I need to know why I don't like my current social situation and skills. When I know the answer to these questions, I can make a plan to develop my skills so I can change my social situation.

A list of why I dislike my current social situation and skills:
- What do I need to say If I see someone who I have never seen before. I never know what to say to start a conversation.
- If I start a conversation, how do I continue Even if I know how to start a conversation, I'm still afraid of how to continue it. So I don't say anything at all.
- How to join a conversation When a friend is talking to someone else, I just don't know what to say.
- No good friends I have some friends, but I don't have anyone who I can share everything with and that I can go shopping (or something else) with.
- Social Networking it's good to get to know new people, but how do I stay in contact with all of them?
- Starting a conversation with a girl Starting a conversation to a guy isn't a big problem. But start a conversation with a girl... I'm just scared. I don't know what to say and what to do.

Finding the answers

Now that I basically have the problems I can start searching why those problems are a problem. Why am I afraid? And What can I do about this?

My questions to you:

- Any comments on above approach?
- What to do about these fears?
- How do I know where these fears come from?
