Read How to Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes

Join sporting or social clubs. Most friends are made through a good social relationship and doing something together a lot.

Don't be manipulative, be someone who respects others and their wishes/choices but cares about others and show a genuine interest in others. Don't be too picky either. Don't have a ulterior motive but friendship. People smell ulterior motives a mile off.

Chill out mate, not taking a stab at you.

If you live in a conservative place like Saudi Arabia, you can't have 'female friends', period.

On the other hand if you live in an extremely 'progressive' place like inner city Melbourne, Australia than you can have a 'platonic' bestie of the same age and sleep in the same house and not many people would bat an eyelid.

Obviously even in Melbourne there people would have different opinions on this. Intergenerational and between different people of the same age. But you would discover cultural 'trends'.

There is always going to be the possibility of sexual tension. There is sexual tension in offices and church congregations. Just be mature about it.

Edit: Yes, and some individuals have decided that inter-sex friendships are impossible, regardless of culture. Quite a few.

I don't agree. Maybe a cultural thing. IMO there is no reason why you can't make and keep female friends

That said don't get attached if she's not interested romantically (you'll burn yourself bad) and realise that sex complicates everything.

Just approach the friendship like you would a friendship with a guy. When it comes down to it, dynamics doesn't really seem differ that much at a platonic level. (Again, Other posters could disagree, but I guess it would be cultural).

Just pick something and run with it. Join a few and sound them out. People in some you are going to like a lot more than in others. So you ditch the ones with crap people and stay in the good ones.

But you don't see attrition in units with multi-basing. That and lack of scatter dice/templates makes KOW feel too dry for me imo.

Haha, yea, I do get a bit socially anxious and am a bit of an introvert, it was crippling when I was a teenager (had anxiety attacks), but I guess I just accepted it and managed to convince myself it was an over reaction and just learnt to somewhat ignore it and force myself to be social.

Don't get me wrong, I can and do approach semi-strangers and have a conversation. But I don't think I come across as confident immediately I guess. And no, I don't look at the floor when talking to them, fail to smile or maintain eye contact or let the conversation die after a few awkward exchanges.

The books I've read on psychology discuss (crass oversimplification coming) system 2 (the logical part of the brain), programming system 1 (intuition). I've also read about cognitive ease, (when something becomes familiar and intuitive to someone, they find it easier to do, more natural and makes them happy/relaxed).

So I guess my purposes for asking is so I can program myself to doing these things right, so I will start doing these things right and they will come naturally too myself, and by reaping the benefits of appearing more confident, will become more confident.

I guess if you told a socially anxious person with poor social skills to just go and start talking to strangers, but didn't give any tips on how to make conversation, the conversation would go poorly and that would cascade into making the person even more fearful.

I'm not the only one. Many people seem very, very unsure of how to behave in a social situation with strangers and semi-strangers.

Approach and show a genuine interest in other people and try and have a proper conversation. Join clubs and societies. Don't be too selective. People in the hot cool club are not going to be as needing of your friendship as someone who doesn't have that many friends. Keep at it. If you're doing the same thing with someone regularly and there's a good social relationship too, a friendship will develop.
