To be frank, I can't. There is a compounded problem in my case - my only major social contact is my mother who's wound up being rather controlling. My father left, my sister is reducing contact with her, my family on my father's side has moved away from us for obvious reasons, and I never really had much of a friendship in school, or high school, or college for that matter. That leaves me woefully unaware of how to interact in an existing social circle without feeling like a burden to them, so I basically live as detached from society as possible.
