Ultimately, you can't treat social as a science, think of it as faith, as an never ending improv performance.
There are four ways to create a social life:
Fake it till its fact - be someone else until it feels like you
Be artistic - find an expressive outlet you enjoy and find other people who express the same way
Be vulnerable and live in moments - take every loss and win with a grain of salt, acknowledge something happened then move on. No moment has more emphasis than others, they are just lily pads for you to jump on and off.
Think outward, not in - react to what people say or do without introspection, trust what you already intrinsically know/feel
