I spent my childhood heavily isolated. From 4th grade to graduation I was homeschooled and it’s left me severely socially stunted. I clearly understand I can still get experience and grow my social skills, but it seems impossible. Nobody wants to be friends with the 18 year old man who acts like a 9 year old child. And the few people who do have very little patience with me and leave me pretty quickly. What can I do? I want to gain as much social skills as possible over the summer so I can have the best chance at having real friendships and doing stuff with friends at college.
