For me I think there are two groups of people: those who are naturally sociable, and those who are not. May be social skills can be learned, but I haven't succeeded in mastering any, no matter how hard or long I try, I don't know why, but what I know for sure is that knowing how to make friends doesn't necessarily help, and I read and listened to too many books on this subject. I think social isolation cannot get worse than mine, and I probably need to connect with others more than any body else, as I am on the brink of becoming crazy (I talk to myself most of the time to compensate for the lack of interactions with others, as I sometimes don't talk to any body for days at a time). So, it is not like that I am not serious, as some would say. May be reading these kind of advice will help others with less personal challenges. I don't think most people understand the challenges some of us facing, especially if they have friends and social circles already, or any kind of human interactions including sons and daughters. They might think: "Oh, well do this and do that and you will be OK and have friends just like that", I don't think it works this way. Anyway, thank you for the piece of advice, which might help some
