Be yourself.

make jokes, smile at people like you're seeing family or something, give compliments.Make it seem like you have a general interest in them.

It's simple: don't.

I have a better question.
How do you even meet people that potentially can be your friends?

Don't listen to this creep. He's only a friendless loser because he can never truly be himself.

Read the book "How to Win Friends and Influence People", by Dale Carnegie and follow its advices

Ask people questions about themselves and REALLY listen, try to ask additional questions based on what they said.
But don't force them to talk if they seem shy about doing so, some folks are naturally introverted or take time to open up. In that case just treat them in a generally pleasant manner.

Save them from the mormons
They will dedicate their lives to you in gratitude

I'm myself literally all the time. There's not a way that I can't be.

>make it seem like
Absolutely awful. If you're not genuinely interested in them they will notice it on a subconscious level.

OP is asking for advice, not effortless, meaningless platitudes.

>Follow this tactic
Approach people, ask them about their interests and listen them carefully.
If you find them worth of your time then try to stay in close contact with them. Otherwise leave them behind.
If you want to maintain your relationship try to banter with your friend(s) and hang out with them occasionaly.
>One more final tip
Try to get out of your comfort zone. If you feel shy put effort into overcoming it and go approach the person

when I was a little kid I didn't talk to anyone but when I entered the junior high school i decided that it was time to make some friends. It was kinda difficult and I have done a lot of bullshit along the way but in the end I managed to obtain some basic social skills and 3-4 very close friends

It's true though

Sure, but it's still absolutely worthless advice. "being yourself" doesn't magically make you good at socialising.

Clearly you're just not good at being yourself

Via education

Not neccessarily true.
Just try ask someone else you know what kind of weird quirks you have that may affect your friend making skills. Once you know, you can work on them

What if being yourself is being autistic shut in?

If you're comfortable with not having friends then that's fine

>autistic shut ins don't want friends
Wrong.

Then stop being an autistic shut in

My advice to you is to notice your autistic traits and tendencies. Make notes of what they are. Then look at ways you can work on the ones that cause you most problems, and eventually improve. Try Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, that can really work wonders

>just bee urself
>just don't bee urself
JUST

If being yourself doesn't encompass doing or attaining things that you want then there's something seriously wrong.
If you don't want to be a friendless shut in then stop doing it
