play the game
play the superficial game of life
some may disagree with my advice here but to an extent we have to try to make ourselves loveable on the outside. The nice authentic part of us, they can find out later.
To attract the opposite sex and really friends in general I’d suggest:
-get advice on appearance, hairstyle, clothes choice,
-develop a cheerful persona, look glad to meet others, take an interest in them, pretend to be a little extroverted
-do an active sport which trims and tones your body
-take an interest in some news/gossip eg. famous celebrity movie star
-visit dating site on the net and create a “new” profile

Other than this,get seriously into Buddhism. Go to Thailand and become a Buddhist monk. it will change your life for the better. I’ve heard it is really tough though. You can’t swat mosquitos whilst you are meditating. Imagine them biting you!
