More of a book about being a yesman and (seemingly) putting others before yourself if you want quick and easy superficial friends this would solve that particular problem.

OP half the suggestions in this thread won't teach you how to talk to people, but it will starkly reveal parallels to how you think and act, which will help motivate you to solve your problem. Just like Watamote So do read them.

Most importantly though, evaluate WHY you want to socialize well. Concrete reasons like, "I'm lonely because I can't talk to people" "I can't get a job because I'm a sperg"... Do that before you read any book.

Refrain from using big words; be pragmatic in your speech (you need to pick up whether the meaning of an uttered proposition is of the 'use' or 'truth conditions' ilk); say what you think without giving it much thought (in conversations that are flirty or amusing in nature, in particular); don't go overboard with sarcasm; be less observant---only react to stimuli addressed to you.

That's it.

You might just want to leave the basement and try socializing yourself. If you don't have the ability to adequately criticize yourself then you'll need to find a friend capable of providing some of that feedback. Socializing's hard but like dating or just talking to girls it's a matter of actually doing it fairly competently several times. After a while you'll usually feel a lot less nervous and anxious about it. It's tough but that's what I've done. Good luck OP.

Probably shitpost but I'll answer:
firstly you should visit a doctor, he will prescrive some drugs and after few months of meeting in local XYZ club you'll be ready to get rid of both and start socializing (probably having social skills of average shy high-schooler but it'll gradually change if you'll be trying to fix it). After few years you'll be quite ok and comfortable w/ other ppl.
