Similarly with depression:
Instructions of how to be happy is distributed to every one
People with depression: “Oh fuck where did it go?”

It seems trite, Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People sounds like it would be such an instruction manual, and it basically is. It’s not replacement for just getting out there and practicing, but it can get you to the point where you’re relatively comfortable going out and getting that practice.
A much more useful book (intended as a management tool but good for a general life instruction manual) is How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People by Jonar C. Nader.
I’m doing the best I can copying people, but it’s just not right(I think).

Pro tip: often the good people are the unassuming ones. The anti-socialites so to speak. The ones a little too weird and keeping to a quiet spot. Like you. Find one, ask them what they like.

Find your good people.

If you’re going to copy people, make sure you copy healthy people. Some people are not worth copying.
Once you find good people, copying is unnecessary, because they will accept you as you are. Took me 20 years to learn that.
Even then… Was sitting in a room with 6-7 people and someone remarked I was the only one without a device in my hands.
That is what my ”research" indicated, no phones to be open to conversation, I’d much prefer quiet phone time. :) Somehow always on the wrong side
