me: how do i get better at socializing advice giving person: try talking to people me: ... is there anything else i can do
i guess more specifically whats scary is approaching conversations with goals in mind e.g. dating, job search, etc or even just asking for help in general (the ol' catch 22)

My baseline advice: 1. Read "The courage to be disliked" 2. Apply The Fully General System to the problem (e.g. find least scary forms of socialisation, do those). https://www.drmaciver.com/2019/05/how-to-do-hard-things/ … 3. Build on existing friendships as a place to practice if possible.

For dating, Mark Manson's book "Models" is surprisingly good (in that it's good, and that's surprising). Job search... not sure. Depends what you're struggling with. Do a bunch of interviews for companies you don't actually want to work for, so you can go in stress free?
