I used to be very shy. Extremely introverted to a point of being a pain....
Then, my cousin invited me to Church. It was through there that I learned to have "fun". To be more outgoing.
I grew to have an "extended family", and they cared a lot about me, and helped me in ways that my "regular family" couldnt understand.
The more you get into fellowshipping, the more you will get involved with the Church and want to "do" more, and volunteer more and get to know all those around you! Who knows, you may meet your future "mate" there :)
But, I would invite you to go to Church and be "uplifted" in your Spirit, and find CHRIST!!
Because after that, the World will no longer be a place that will hold you...
I wish you well..

As a once anti-social person myself, I would suggest to make friends online. Choose them wisely and make one friend at a time. I've made over 10 friends, five of which I still keep in touch with after 5 years. I've met most of them in person during vacations or invitations. Having a dinner or drink with one person at a time helps me to open up a lot more. The person has your undivided attention and you have theirs. It might be awkward the first few minutes but once the ball starts rolling you'll find yourself talking way too much but it's all in good fun. Good luck with that!

Think about the situations in which you're completely yourself and are most sociable - like when you're around family and/or certain friends or when you're playing your favorite sport, for example. Try to recreate those same situations - join a sports club, arrange more gatherings at your home, etc. Make an effort to create more situations in which your social characteristics shine through.

Anti-social is usually a person with criminal intentions, and no conscience.
You're probably just not sociable, because of nerves. There are prescription meds that can help - and natural remedies available at almost all stores. There is also counseling, which can help you to find yourself - and your words.
I go from one extreme to the other - don't talk at all OR don't shut up. It's not good, and I do use aroma therapy, but it still happens.

What I do is just take a chance. Join a sport or club, or simply just say hi to someone, or sit with them when you have the chance. Also try asking people you trust for advice.

One situation at a time...try and speak up. You will look around and find the walls did not tumble, nor the roof bury you...so it can't be all that bad. It is a trial and error type of thing.

I used to be the same way. The key is to not give a damn about what other people think. Say whatever you want. Screw them. Who are they? You're better than them.

have more self confidence, your thoughts are just as valid as anyone else's so speak up. and who cares if they laugh then you were able to brighten their day some.
