Let it flow.  Let it flow when it scares you as well... this is where the practice comes in.  Like, just let loose, see what happens.  Be so authentic it kills you and makes you squirm lol.  Just be yourself.. meaning; loosen the grip you have on what you say, feel, think, and do.  Just let it go.  let it all go.  

Takes fucking courage man.  

But shit is it liberating.  

Yeah I guess so but I think it just makes me even more alien to people. Which is what I want to avoid, which is why I'm even asking the question how to get better with people so I can be less alien. You ask the question how can I get better with people, then people say be yourself. Then you ask what if being myself ostracizes me from people. Then they say be yourself anyway meaning they don't even believe their own advice. It would be one thing to say be yourself even if it makes you lonely rather than saying be yourself and somehow you will get good social results. One's a lie that a lot of people admit but fail to recognize.
