Serious How does a guy like me even dig himself out of this rut?

[Total Imbecile]

-23 years old
-0 friends
-no social skills whatsoever
-no previous experience to talk about
-dont even know how to respond to people when they do talk to me
-dont really feel like sharing anything about myself anyway

If theres a specific problem to be talked about I can do fine, but otherwise my mind is just blank, I dont really think about anything, I feel like a robot who just collects information and doesnt really do anything with it

Why would anyone wanna be my friend

I wish I could just buy friends but Im not even rich

Am I doomed?

You don't. It's extremely hard to make friends after high school and college as a male, because these are the periods when you develop your social networks. Perhaps you can try lowinhibmaxxing and go to bars/clubs by yourself and approach people or get a hobby or something ...

Aren’t you an engineer? Im pretty sure u could find friends at work just like you, its gonna be hard tho

 

[Haywire]

ugly and no social skills? bad combo

You can't dig out. The only thing to do is dig in further and bury yourself in there.

Im in gradschool right now, after my MS I might just go and get my PhD because theres no point in working if I dont have a gf

Pretty much every place Ive worked at guys are already in relationships or married

Major companies have event and stuff for new hires but the thing is if I go there I dont know what to talk about

I literally dont know how to talk to people, like if I go to one of these events I would just stand there, say I approach a person, what do I say

Ive been alone all my life so I just dont know what to do, and trying to get someone to be my friends because I have no friends is pathetic

Realistically I could join my colleges discord group but what ends up happening is I just read what other people talk about, I dont have anything to contribute, I dont even know what Id say or why would anyone care about what I have to say, I just end up answering questions people have about our unis logistics and such

This might be bluepilled but there is some concept about "neuroplasticity" where over time you can essentially rewire your brain to be more positive or outgoing or more NT or whatever. I suggest you might want to look into that.

I'm wondering if you might be on the autism spectrum. You might benefit from some kind of social skills training. And I'm not talking about getting women or something. I just mean it might help you with life in general.

Maybe try a hobby where people are very friendly, like motorcycles. I made my only irl friend through a shared love of 50cc scooters. But I understand your situation. I have no idea what to say to people 99% of the time and often end up embarrassing myself.

You need to seek god for assistance.

If you couldn't do it when you were young, you surely won't do it now

Not saying this is your fault ofc, it never began if you're ugly

I got to get out of this rut and get back into the groove.
