God I'm so fucking bad at talking to people. I never realized how tragically undersocialized I was until I started attending college. Seeing normals effortlessly string sentences together, seamlessly moving from topic to topic, the way they conjure thought into speech is so alien to me. I've been a recluse for the last decade and all of those verbal/social skills have totally left me. I'm not a shy retard autist either, I make the effort to socialize a lot but it's very clear that I don't have the sauce yet and it makes for awkward conversations that repel people.

How do I get better at this shit? I know it's a skill as much as any other, so do I just keep on grinding?
