Hey guys, as title says, I'm wondering if you guys have any tips on how to get more friends?
A bit of background, when I was a kid, I was the contrarian type. I wouldnt go out to birthday parties, wont go to church, etc. basically I didnt want to do what others do, including socializing.
That habit worsened during college, when I became very studious after I failed to enroll in my dream college.
Anyway, I now tried to be more social. I tried to be funny, but I lack the ability to identify social que. So often times I make jokes that seem insulting. I also have bad filter. I always speak my mind. So yeah, I've not been successful in making a lot of friends.
Those are the things I identified after some self reflections. Idk if there are more factors that cause people to avoid me.
So yeah, that's why I'm asking for tips, because it seems everything I know seem to not working.
TIA.
