being friendly

[Slippery Sam]

I used to be a real quiet person, but worked on my social skills. Im not very shy now, and im not an afc, but im still a little lonely and would like to meet more people. My problem is that meeting people can seem fun for a while, but most people I talk to either annoy me or just bore me, so i lose focus on the conversation and it gets awkward. Im pretty much only talking to them to be social, even though I could give a **** about what they are saying. How can I be more interested in people to make more friends. Btw i'm just talking to people mostly to have them like me more, or get invites to parties and such where i can meet girls. It seems like a **** move, but Im bored with my current friends and I just want to have more fun around others.

Do you have ADD?

Sounds like you have boring friends. Get a dog. Dogs are never boring.

Psych eval.
Nothing to be ashamed of at all. Being diagnosed with bipolar disorder was one of the best things that ever happened to me because I finally knew what the hell was going on with my head and could rationally understand it.
