> If you like people and like being a little social, what do you do to be social. How are you social? How do you make friends? How do you keep them? Is it possible to just not like people? Or has my social anxiety tricked me into believing I don't like them? If anyone has any advice or info I would appreciate it.

I've never been one to have a lot of friends, talk to those I do have, or able to keep them. It's not that I don't want them, I've just always been to myself. I don't like talking on phones, or having to sit and talk to someone. Going out, for me, has never been extremely fun. It has actually been nerve racking. Mingling with people you don't know, talking to them about things you don't care about are aren't educated about. I think its an act (for me anyways). After I have a few drinks in me (usually too many) then I feel comfortable. I wish I could be like those people who have all the friends, talk on the phone with them all the time, or get together with them for drinks or a party. But its not my personality... I've come to accept it.
Smiling alone
