22m, just graduated college and moved to a new city for work. Somehow managed to lose touch with basically everyone from college and now I'm kind of starting from zero socially which is rough.
I'm pretty introverted and small talk has never come naturally to me. I usually freeze up or give one-word answers and it gets awkward fast. Trying to meet people here but my social skills are genuinely not helping.
I've been trying to work on it but practicing in real life feels too high stakes right now. Has anyone used any apps or tools that actually helped with this kind of thing? Not looking for public speaking stuff, more just everyday conversation and not being awkward in normal social situations.
If you've tried anything, what did you like about it? And what was missing or felt annoying? Honest takes appreciated.
