I am looking to become the best version of myself, but there are a lot of insecurities and negative thoughts in my head most of the time. Lack social skills, don't make lots of money, and only got 1 friend. This is not a sob story nor am I feeling sorry for myself I'm just putting out a reference point (if you can call it that).
So... I'm fed up with my life and where I'm at and began working on improving myself.
I've lost about 45lbs in the past year just kinda watching what I eat and been going to the GYM for about 2mo.
My work schedule changes constantly, so it's not easy to just sign up to dancing classes, jiu-jitsu or other activities. However, I am now looking into community gatherings/classes to work on socializing.
So far I went and played volleyball at an open gym gathering. Had a lot of fun, and did my best to socialize (went poorly tho).
Any book recomendations on inner game, how to talk to ppl, or self developement? Any other suggestions and advice will be appreciated.
Currently reading "The game" by Neil Strauss and "how to win friends and influence peaople" by Dale Carnegie.

Join meet up groups where everyone is in the same boat. With gym classes, you will find people are often in their own cliques and not very accepting of lone outsiders.

Thank you. I actually looked into it, meet up is not popular here. There are some groups across the border tho, so I may give it a shot out there once my motorcycle is ready. Lines to get across are ridiculous.

The secret (law of attraction). Great book(s) and they have even made two movies and its worth to watch. I loved it, especially the first one.

It teaches the subject of what it takes to be likable. It breaks down the formula of attraction: Frequency + proximity + duration + intensity. It breaks down the cues that people give off that shows that they are friendly. It also goes into your mindset when you want people to like you. The thing I really like about it is a primer for the image that you put out there to people and understanding what people are giving off to you.

The "like switch" by jack schafer is about an fbi agent. And how he used social strategies to convince government members to spy on their own countries. He describes and shows a bunch of the social techniques he used and it relates alot with pick u.
