How do you guys improve your social skills?

For the longest time I've struggled with social anxiety and maybe I am on the spectrum. Eventually I will have to conquer job interviews since I want to get out of my shitty fruit slave job!
Also, I want to try to make friends at my future job. Because I hardly talk to anyone at my current job.
But then again there is a language barrier problem. Welp... I should've studied Spanish courses on Duolingo.
It seems this mask prevents me from being successful. I haven't climbed up the seronity ladder due to poor social skills. Not a good excuse but childhood trauma still haunts me to this day. Bullies can fuck you up.
I do think I am slightly getting a little better. One time I had a conversation with my dad's childhood friend. It helps when I ask random questions.

I've learned the first step is simple, don't care what others may think about you. Why? How else will you find out who's worth making friends with? Lol
2nd be yourself. This is a tricky one because if you struggle to make friends due to being yourself, you may feel like this is bad advice. It's not. The goal of "be yourself" is simply to avoid making fake bonds. You don't want people to like you for the facade you put up. You want them to like your authentic self.
