Id follow Socrates and suggest to “know yourself” and stick to your truth, your values, your goals first.

Then the more open and confident you are about them - the more genuine friends who are happy to share it with you you’ll find.

The goal “make friends” in itself is just a bad, shallow goal. It will not give you energy for real actions on a regular basis.

The attitude “i dont like my shyness” is a bad, weak attitude.

The attitude “f..k you, im shy and im okay with it” is a strong, attractive attitude (without being a jerk of course)
