Imagine you hadn't run since you were a little kid. Then one day you realize this isn't healthy and you decide to start jogging. And you then find out you can even jog for 20 minutes at a time! Is something wrong with you? No, you just need A LOT of practice and go slow. This is exactly the same thing. To repeat an often repeated phrase: Social skills are called skills because they require practice! Same with learning how to play the guitar. So just keep doing it, when ever you find yourself with any other humans, open your mouth and say ANYTHING. Keep doing that, it will get better. |

You can be the best guitar player with the fastest fingers or with the huskiest male-acoustic singer-songwriter-voice, and still can't laid or get signed to a contract. For evidence, just go to your local city's public square or subway station and see all of the talents out there, strumming their hearts out, alone.
Social skills is a misnomer; it is not a skill but rather a shell/skinning/GUI to present the contents underneath. Having lots of friends or gfs would not validate your causes (I'm talking about intrinsic causes) and vice versa too for lackthereof a social life. Social skills are just a set of fancy ways to announce to the world, that "I'm single, and I'm ready to mingle."
Sorry about being blunt, but it's just I feel like a lot of people confuse these two area's in their lives (not saying that one's social life isn't as important; one can't fight against one's biology) and take one for the other; and try to use social superficiality to resolve their intrinsic goals and come off vapid; or try to work on their personal projects in hopes to bolster their social lives and come off frustrated and lonely.
