I have social anxiety and also a little bit older than most of my coworkers. They don’t talk to me that much. How can I put myself out there more?
What's the point?
This ☝️. Suck up to your boss and keep chasing TC. Who gives a rats ass about the other losers. Make more power moves and let your peers know that you are the alpha dog.
Lol great way to get ostracized
OwO is a loner? Hit me up man, you're a blind celeb!
See a psychologist for social anxiety. Try to get your team to have lunch together everyday, it’s easy and helps everyone be more social. (I’ve seen this work for many teams at different companies) You can also have monthly 1:1s with everyone to talk about what they are working on, their plans etc.
Social anxiety in my experience is extremely stubborn... it might get better by putting yourself in difficult situations and taking care of yourself physically.
After reading most of your comments I would say it’s not your age but your attitude that keeps people away from you 😏
New to blind. How do you read someone’s previous comments??
Im not owo
How much age difference?
They’re like 25 and younger. I’m almost 30
Do you look young/old for your age? Try basic things outside the workplace. Compliment 1 stranger per day. Start a conversation with cashier every time you are up. You have to look approachable if that's one of your problems. You need things in common. If you don't have anything in common, ask them about their interests. People like to talk about themselves.
Again, I don't understand why you want to be social? I know what the conventional wisdom says and what scientific studies say. But what is your reason? Your motivation?
Because I work at Facebook and I need allies and friends at work to vouch for me during performance reviews. Also I’m tired of being a shy loner all the time
Be an aggressive bastard after work in the bar ;) Making friends at work is pointless since you cannot sleep with them

You probably can’t. Accept that you are different and let it be
You are 30. Work out, get ripped. Never answer a question with more than two words. Start wearing a ring if you don't already. Dress well. (Nothing loose-fitting.) Keep a bottle of whiskey on your desk. Wear shades in the office. Write cryptic commit messages. Come back and report progress after 6 months 😉

Affinity groups
I don’t want to join groups. I want to make friends with my teammates.
Hey man, you gotta start somewhere. It'd be a good way to practice your social skills
