I mentioned this in some other thread.
To practice your social skills, play this game.
Set 3 things you have to find out from people but you cannot ask
them directly. Like their name, their favorite food, their favorite
color.
Give yourself 10 mins to find this out, if you can't then move
on to the next person and play the game with them.
This works, it makes you less uncomfortable because you are not
trying to make them like you, you only need to find out 3 things.
Also no fear of rejection because you're only spending 10 mins
each, no need for lengthy, deep conversations about life so it's
less stress.
When you master this game, you can set more difficult things to
find out and extend the time etc.
