How to have more social success

[Guest]

Hi my name is Sam, im very lonely, i got to this forum from doing "im lonely" in google then a signature on the first links forum came here.
Also i got the following link, its aimed at people like me teenage males, but probably useful for people of all ages.
Im not motivated enough to act on it yet, but ive enquired about a job, through the internet albeit...
Im trying to read maybe 3 pages of the website each day - i use the links in red if you scroll down the homepage.

Also somewhere there was this guy who said if your feeling social anxiety to think about some other random thought he suggested repeating "shoes" in your head until social anxiety and negative thoughts have gone.
I havent tried this in a social situation yet but perhaps if I/you could blank out those fears of rejection.
Thats all i can think of, maybe ill make an account here but not sure.

I know the site well. And those techniques might even yield the promised results. The only problem, however, is that for many people, the man hours of strenuously boring, alienated and somewhat robotic procedures of social integration required, in and of itself flies directly in the face of the happiness formula: http://www.alonelylife.com/showthread.php?tid=1218 Thus actually increasing loneliness, even despite social success.
