There's a bunch of little things that I just am clueless about. When to change the radio station in the car, where to sit when eating out with friends, responding to people's comments and greetings. A lot of times I just don't know what to say or how to act.

There are a lot of people who think that they are socially "on" and they do/say the wrong a lot of the time. Don't burden yourself with thinking that you have to act a certain, or always know the right thing to do/say. Just relax, we all screw up in social situations. People who really care for you will figure you out and like you with all of your quirks. Don't worry.

Are you young? When I was a young man I felt like you did. Now I could give a f*ck less. I change the station when I feel like. I ask people "can I sit there?" then sit anyway. And the best part is if I don't respond to people's comments they figure "he's old and wise and considering it carefully!" when all I'm doing is thinking about some babe's boobs!!!!!!!

Maybe you have the wrong friends? Be thoughtful, pay attention to helpful details, etc., but if your running with "friends" who are only cutting you down & making your out to be stupid (in thier eyes), perhaps try drifting toward a better group of people ... or those with similar ideals & interests as you have. If that's the case, try to not show outright rejection of the people you've been hanging out with: maybe they'll get better after you drift away from them if you let them "save face." I'd say pray about it.

The trick to setting off to on, is trying it. practice. look at others and imitate. eventually it will become normal to you too. If you've said hello for the ten thousandth (?) time, it becomes easy and normal. If you have said : hey it's nice to see you, how are you? a million times it becomes normal. And when you have said: hey, I know how it feels to be sad , a million times ( or happy or angry..or...) then that becomes easy too. practice and your setting will switch to on. eventually you can choose to be as sociable as you want to be and also switch to off again, when you want to be alone. :)

You need to get out more and have more friends. Get a life. Good luck.

Don't worry. You are not the only one. Just be yourself and be "true to thyself" and everything will be all right.
