Dude, try getting out more, seriously. I live in a college dorm, and I find that sitting inside all day playing video games hinders the possibility to go out and meet people. Even if your just going for a walk because its a nice day, talk to people!
It sounds like your problem is more your social skills then your lack of confidence, because confidence goes hand in hand with wellness which includes environmental and social wellness. You also need to be more disciplined, try working out or something, or learn an instrument, the discipline it takes to learn an instrument has built me into a better person.
I don't have a car and I live in a bad neighborhood. Walking around aimlessly wouldn't seem like a good idea. They probably wouldn't hesitate to rob someone looking like me.
I don't have any money or interests in playing instruments.
BTW, I have way more problems than just my social skills. I'm just ugly to the point where you can tell something mental is wrong with a person. I talk with a really slowed southern drawl that makes me really hard to understand and I sound really stupid. I walk really funny. I also have really slow reaction times and a lot of mental lapses where I'm starting into space for no apparent reason.
Add in the facts that I'm poor, slow, and I have AS, I become a easy target for embarrassment and humiliation.
Of course no one want to hang out and be seen in public with a half-retarded bum. And what girl/women would ever be attracted to someone like me. I can barely even take care of myself at age 25.
