Being not sociable is just a proof that you are inferior genetically if you wouldve experienced positive reinforcement when socializing growing up you wouldnt have those kind of issues
Although you can practice it and you will lower your inhib over time think of it like the fear of height the more you get exposed to it the less your body will produce a shit ton of adrenaline in those situations

🤔

If I grew up attractive and people were positively reinforcing me because of that fact would I really be on an incel forum asking how to socialize??

Not even genetically inferior physically, some people are just ND

Most of the cases it's correct though, especially in a place like this

I just struggle with one problem. What do I talk about? How do I keep the conversation entertaining? Different social cues?

Socializing can go both ways and it’s insanely hard to predict the outcome

I personally struggle with openers and eye contact, I feel like I’m wasting someone’s time when I talk to them.

When someone tries to talk to me I literally cannot generate a reply until maybe 10-20 seconds later and usually it’s a dumb reply.

TL;DR: Dont know any good openers and how to keep the convo going

Okay, I’ve been doing that recently and I get an adrenaline rush. So I don’t do it often

I’ve heard this take before and it’s pretty interesting. Although I’m not ugly I’m pretty short but I doubt that’s the reason. Also in my younger years I was very social. I’ve just rotted in my room for so long through my younger teen years that I’ve become very anti social and being short definitely doesn’t help that.
What ways did u “expose yourself”
