I'm a loner, possibly a loser, who has no friends. I'm smart, kind of a geek, and am incredibly shy. What should I do to increase my social interactions?

My friend, being a loner doesn't mean that you are a loser. being a goof-off and writing this question, however, may categorize you as such.

I know for a fact that you have at least two friends. Myself, and "That sweet Arabian fellow"

Do you need to get out and date more, oh, hell yes. You've chosen to ask a group of computer-geeks (don't take offense ... I'm one too) if they'll be your friend. Great. Now you have 29 empty promises, no phone numbers, and me criticizing you (but I do it as your bud.)

On a side note, your response to Mada h's question is NO WAY to earn yourself some cyber-buddies.

Ask Megan out. She's got the hots for you ;) .. well, not really, but you never know.

I'm a loner too, I don't have a bunch of friends but the ones I have are worth more than a million bucks. My greatest friend is Jesus (sorry, I'm not trying to convert you, I'm just saying) Jesus has given me my friends and He is my best friend. The ppl I trust the most are the best friends I have at church. There are a lot of role models there, and I have gained so much by learning from them, hearing there testimonies. You can find friends around any corner, you just have to be a good judge of character. There are ppl out there who don't care what you look like or how much you know about computers, they like you for who you really are.
Good luck and God bless!
ps- if you've got a good family, they can be the first friends you turn to.

I don't know what to tell you, There has to be someone who cares about you.Do you have a cousin around ? If so, you guys could go hang out and meet some peaple. Or like the girl above said, join some clubs. Just be really nice to the peaple you come into contact with and try to start up small conversations.What about at your job?Go out with a coworker for a drink. Well thats all I got. Probably not very much help but goodluck. Everyone needs friends to talk to and my heart goes out to you.

Try Church a lot of programs to appease your interest, even designed for every specific needs or desires. This will surely make you advance quickly to accomplishing conquering your social interactive fears.

Brother, I felt the same way, I did church following returning from war suffering PTSD, and they accepted me the way I was and I admired that. Today I learned to shake off the PTSD and social fears, and now have an organization federally funded with 8 employees providing social service to uplift economically disadvantaged persons of all walks of life....who would think.

1st, stop to talk that bad about yourself, everyone is special, and many many poeple are like you, and i'm sure that many poeple likes you as you are!
just be yourself, and if you really think you are very shy, try to handle that, i was shie too, and now i'm outgoing, u just need to be self confident, don't think of what others will think abt you, or about what you want to say, just say it, just do what you want to do if you feel it's good!
don't give more value than you should to the poeple around you, i mean, life is not only to be appreciated by poeple, don't do things you don't want to do just to be admirated, no, be yourself and then poeple who really match you will like you
to increase your social interactions you can be a member of an asociation, of a sport club, be the first to say hello, and the conversation will come step by step, the conversation will turn into a relationship easily, the relationship could be a friendship!
u see , easy!
if u need a new frined from another culture and a far country just mail me, i'm here!

Now now, green hair. The key to having friends is to have confidence in yourself enough to where it doesn't matter whether or not you have friends because you know in your heart that you are a good/fun/smart person. That is what is attractive to other people. Once you stop pursuing so heavily, friends will be on your doorstep. Stop thinking of yourself as a loser, you will never get friends that way.

You probably don't like yourself very much . I suggest you work with yourself esteem and confidence. With the way you are going, nobody will like to associate themself with someody that considers himself as a loner and a loser. You are destroying yourself by rating yourself so low. You have so much potetial about you, you said youself that you are smart, start working from that angle. Let me tell you a secret, if you learn how to appreciate and love yourself then friends, alot of them will flock to you.

I'd be your friend...well, as long as your not some psycho serial killer. It's hard to increase your social interactions when your shy. Join clubs, sports, go to a bar or a club. Start talking to people online...and then go from there....good luck!!!

well, first of all, stop saying social interactions.

secondly, stop being a loser. buy some cool clothes from american eagle. join a sport. and i DON'T mean the ping-pong team. join something that's envy-worthy, like basketball, baseball, or football. if you suck too much to do those sports, join the track team. they let EVERYONE on.

also, hang out at cool places, like the mall... or, whatever. talk to people, get to know everyone,

also, wash your hair regularly, buy contacts if you wear glasses, use an acne medication, like ProActive, if your face looks like a pepperoni pizza. Just whip yourself into looking like a stud. Believe me, EVERYONE can look hot if they try hard enough.

hope this help... and, just for the record, you can consider me a friend.

hahahaha. not really. but im trying to be nice. =]

hope this helps!
