People give instructions for machine learning, but they don't do this for social skills in general. Instead, they expect you to just pick it up assuming you had normal socialisation in your teens. I personally learned more about social skills in my 30's than I did before. But this was honestly because I moved countries, and folks just told me some of the rules and folks tell me if I'm acting too... "off". Luckily, folks now also expect me to be a bit strange, which helps too. Now, some folks have suggested simply going out more. This does help to a point - just make it something you are interested in doing so it is easier to talk about it. But also consider things like anxiety (it'll make you feel like you aren't doing it right) or that you are missing social cues: I have an niece that went to a therapist to learn this and if you think it might be something like this, I fully endorse this.
