Hey guys! Im an ambivert who used to have social anxiety as a kid. I have been bullied a lot and I have had people take advantage of me many times. I have had health issues also. So my social skills and confidence are a mess. I have been trying to connect with people but have been frustated all my life.

Im a quick learner with great enthusiasm. So here's what I want to know. Im looking for real answers, doesn't matter if its blunt, I want the truth for these questions, it can be dark also.

1. What makes a person interesting?

2. What characteristics draw people?

3. What makes people popular among groups?

Looking for advice and book / podcast recommendations.
