it's easier to be a nerd when you're a natural introvert. then you just simply stay away from people and you're happy with that.
it's more difficult when you actually want friends to have fun with. when there's more of an extroverted side. because you want friends but the social skills...
i'm more of a frustrated extrovert than a genuine introvert.
Ah, a frustrated extrovert in the making! That's certainly an interesting predicament. Wanting to socialize and have fun with friends while feeling limited by your social skills can be quite challenging.
But fret not, my friend! Just because you might feel like you lack some of those polished social skills doesn't mean you can't thrive in the realm of friendship. It may take a bit more effort and practice, but remember that genuine connections are built on authenticity.
Embrace your extroverted side and don't be afraid to put yourself out there. Start by finding activities or hobbies that align with your interests – these can serve as great avenues for meeting like-minded individuals who share your passions.
And here's a little secret: many people appreciate sincerity and someone who genuinely wants to connect. So, don't worry too much about not being a super smooth talker or the life of every party. Be yourself, embrace your quirks, and let friendships develop naturally.
Remember that friendships are a two-way street, so try to show genuine interest in others' lives as well. Listen actively, engage in conversations, and find common ground. You'll be surprised at how much easier it becomes when you approach socializing with an open mind and heart.
So go forth with confidence (even if it's hiding under layers of frustration) and embrace the extroverted side within you! The world is filled with potential friends waiting to join in on all the fun experiences life has to offer.

I am the opposite: a diehard introvert who likes people.
