Help with social interactions

Im 23 and to be honest I never really had friends throughout schools and if I hanged out with 2 guys we would mostly play video games and play football outside. So yeah I have never been outside in clubs and all that and I never had a girlfriend. Now I kinda have this feeling like Im kinda socially retarded lol for example many of my collegues tell me I cant communicate with customers and to be honest they are partially right even though they may be too harsh on me I feel.

Is it too late for me to improve on that area or? To be honest Im not that shy I actually Im very full of confidence but only when I workout in a gym.
When I try to go to a bar or night club I feel out of place and at work I cant seem to communicate with customers lol

I seriously dont know what to do

This is what happens kids when you spend your childhood playing video games and not go outside. Even if you dont have a friend go outside, **** them you only need yourself.

Bro like Im telling you Im not dumb I dont think Im some genius level intelect as well lol Im personally good at learning foreign languages and Im not a dumb person its just that I have trouble communicating and I dont know what to do. I work in this pastry shop and I applied for this job because I get the chance to talk with tourists a lot but Im not good at explaining stuff. My dream is to work in tourism but idk I feel I should chase fitness career instead because I feel really comfortable when working out in a gym but I want my job to be able to use english,german and italian (Im planning to learn italian this year)

I used to be social af and the only way i was able to do it was to completely cut out social media and be forced to talk to people (worked retail) so i could make a purpose for myself

Just going out to the gym or talking to people at work doesn't work there has to be a motive for that chit

Learn about body language, vocal tonality, eye contact etc

Talk to EVERYONE. I’m sure you have a great personality and lots to share, it’s just you’re too in your head to be able to express it. Talking with lots of people will make you more comfortable

Where exactly do you have problems? That’s important so I know what specific advice to give you

that stuff obliterates social anxiety, helps for meeting girls and stuff but is a dark and scary slippery slope if you use it on any kind of frequent basis, the problem is that it works TOO good, and is the absolute worst drug to be dependent on

it works but what's gonna happen when you're off of it? better to practice when you're sober so you don't develop a dependency on substances

When you're out in public say hello to people as much as possible, ask how their day is going. Doing simple things like that over time naturally improves your social skills. Instead of thinking of ways to keep a long conversation going just keep it short and sweet with people. Then the next time you talk to them make the conversation a little longer maybe. You build up interactions, you don't just expect a stranger to have a full blown conversation with you the first time you meet them, it takes time
if you ain't got no money, this is about to be a real short conversation, you dig?
