I still have major problems of socialization but I succeeded to pass to the “in” group. - It happened during the integration week in engineering school. Cohesion games, scream together, talk loud, it really transformed me. Now I’m part of the socialization. I’m 38. - I would say it can’t happen without alcohol, unfortunately. It’s both a social signal and an actual mood changer. Use it, but quit as soon as you’re in. Use it to gain the “street cred” and move on to better friends. Friends you get through alcohol are false friends, they/you use alcohol to hide the lack of unity and the lack of depth in your relationship. So don’t dwell of friends you made through alcohol. - You can search for a girlfriend without going through the socialization step. Don’t postpone the gf thing.
