how do i improve my social skills

[atlastranquility ༘⋆༄.°⋆]

I’ve always been a quiet person with pretty bad social anxiety, I have like no friends at my school and think anyone who interacts with me thinks im weird
social anxiety aside im hella awkward and bad at starting/keeping conversations
Obviously I need to improve on this so I can function in the real world

exposure therapy and/or medication

I have people that I talk to occasionally but I only have 1 or 2 classes with them and don’t get the chance to see them outside of school

What i did to make my social anxiety better is just talk and text my close friends more. If you get more comfortable with them then you'll slowly start getting better at things like starting a conversation, keeping a conversation, ect. Even if your sending them vids on tiktok and stuff it helps cuz you find there interests
