I have a question
 

I'm a non social jerk. How can I be a social jerk?

More filling stuff:

I don't have a lot of friends where I live. I no longer have access to friends farther away because they left for college. I want to meet people and have fun around my own age (early 20s is best). I like philosophy and psychology. The arts are pretty fun too. I'm not good at introducing myself because I have little experience; I don't want to seem creepy. The area I live in is about 50 miles in diameter of yuppie.

Suggestions?

Is there a bar? If I am looking for a political or philosophical conversation, most times I can go to a bar. The trick is to be a regular, start with going on not busy nights and just talk with the bartender and the other regulars and then people will just start talking with you because you are a regular. Also you don't really have to start with introducing yourself, just wait for a point in a conversation that a bunch of the regulars are having that you can add something to and join in. At some point someone else will introduce themselves and you're good from there.

Not 21 yet.

Bwuaha you US-ians. MY advice, is follow the previous advice to a T, but do it in canada, (Alberta to be exact! The drinking age is 18!)

Follow this advice, and in 3 years, I'll even be your friend. :P

If you're not 21 at the very least take a few community college classes. It's a great way to pick up chicks and make friends, and you could do worse things than that to a job application.

Yeah, really just getting involved in any clubs, classes or other group activities is a great way to meet other people who can't drink yet. :D

I am going to the community college but here's the thing;

It too is yuppie ville. I have nothing in common with these people thus far, and it's intolerable to listen to them yammer on about things I don't care about. I've tried making friends but beyond casual 'hey how are you' and 'how's class' I don't have anything in common with them.

That's gotta be rough, but, unless you've met everyone already, there ought to be some people you don't mind talking to somewhere. If you can't find anyone there, you could try frequenting other places, arcades or coffee shops or malls or something.

Little trick - Find something interesting on the news before class. Go in, talk to the person about this interesting event. Tie it into your similarities, get a conversation going, introduce yourself, exchange numbers, get coffee together sometime, and bam.

Herpes.

Er...what?

No, what you should do is go online and join a forum.

Talk with those people, and have philisophical discussions with them, forums are a place where people are more open to the ideas of others, while pretending to be closed to them

That's what the internet is for, bringing people together, while keeping them very far apart. Now take a gramme of soma and be happy.
