Wouldn't actually interacting with people enhance social skills much more than reading books about things that had never happened?

You set yourself in the character place, which teaches you to put yourself in people you interact with, place.
Aiden Bell
Explain to me how this would be more effective than actually talking to people and thus practicing body language, tone, eye contact, speech speed etc.

You think I'm a chad?
Noah Rogers
Isn't the goal to become a chad though, that's what I'm trying to do
Asher Clark
No dude, wtf. Life goal is to be happy. Chad is only a fase. Get a good personality who grown people like.
Cameron Evans
>Life goal is to be happy.
Yeah what does being happy really mean? Being a chad can be considered as happiness by many.
Kayden Walker
Just be yourself bro
Isaac Miller
Well to be a chad, you have to be able to put yourself in peoples place. They're good socially

Yes but reading fiction seems to have low ROI. You'd probably be better off actually getting into the field and practicing, kind of how you'd learn to lift weights better by actually LIFTING instead of reading about it all day, or how you'd learn to program much quicker if you tried to do it instead of spending all day reading articles and books about it.

>wrong, most of us were born this way
Unless you were born with cerebral palsy or paralyzed you were likely born very average tho
Carson Williams
I am literally deformed
also keep in mind that to be chad average is NOT enough you have to be born in the upper 20% to even have a chance of being chad
Charles Roberts
>I am literally deformed Yeah but the vast majority of people on this website are horribly average. On /r9k/ for example I remember seeing how pretty much no one had a deformity or was in a wheelchair or diagnosed with cancers or AIDS. That's what I'd consider a real problem, having a lifethreatening disease or being unable to walk. Not fucking "social anxiety" or some shit
>you have to be born in the upper 20% to even have a chance of being chad
But do you really get BORN into the upper 20%, or do you become the upper 20%? Do people who start successful businesses just get lucky one day and run a multi billion dollar company or did they make thousands of shitty business ventures first and learned from them? Are Chads born with low body fat% and a ton of muscle mass or do they get it from years of hardwork?
Is it possible to improve your skin by using a rigourous skincare regiment of cleansing twice a day, using moistourizer, suncreen, applying Retin-A at night, vaseline at night, etc to have much nicer looking skin than everyone else or is that just pure luck that some people are born with good skin?
I'm just trying to understand how much a person can actually influence about their life and how much is just 100% pure luck that you're born with something.

this was literally me from 11-15 where I turned a bit weird and hated everyone
I was still popular but everyone just started realising I was horrible and arrogant and I stopped getting invited to parties/ social stuff. I think it was more that I mocked the 'popular' kids and wasn't just horrible to geeks anymore and decided to stand up for them. Not to worry, most of them wanted me in private haha, then someone spread a rumour that I was gay towards the end of high school and it all went downhill until I turned 17
Adam Richardson
well? Answer me. How much of our lives is decided at birth forever as opposed to how much we can change?
