I act retarded to make friends

I do something like this too except I don’t pretend to be stupid. Lol. I already am. Anyways. I usually ask a simple question they would definitely have an answer too, like something school related or work related depending on who I am talking too and where we are. Then when they answer I usually have some sort of dramatic reaction or weird response and it makes them laugh. After that I’ll start a small convo by asking another question that usually has them explain something and then I’ll find something to compliment them on. I like to give compliments, they always make people feel good. Anyways. This is how I usually make friends and acquaintances. But that’s when I find the confidence, I can be shy sometimes. It’s also the best way I can make friends because my resting bitch face scares people away, so I have to show I’m harmless.
