44 Tips That Socially Awkward 20-Somethings Should Use To Make More Friends

25. Being a try hard nihilist or saying everything sucks and thinking it makes you look edgy or cool.

Also realizing that not everyone wants to debate you all the time, about everything.

Saying agree to disagree can make the difference between getting another invite or not.

26. Lots of socially awkward people say that they hate small talk. Nobody likes small talk though. It’s one of those things that can get a conversation started though before moving into something bigger or more personal. You can start by talking about the weather and then see where the conversation goes rather than just walking up to someone and diving right into your theory about how Finland is a made up place that doesn’t exist.
