This is the community for all things hacking and cybersecurity, try keeping it legal. That said I don't take any responsibility for anything that happens/comes from this group but I will try being the best mod that I can to prevent anything from happening.

So, I know this sounds a little stereotypical, but I'm terrible with people. I know that social engineering is an excellent tool and can speed up things like active recon, but I just can't figure it out. Does anyone know any resources for learning or just have general tips?

Have you ever considered doing community theater or taking an improv class?

Not only is it the best place to authentically practice these skills with kind feedback you generally meet a diverse range of very intelligent people in the process.

I'm kind of a social hermit, but I have a couple friends who do stuff like that. I'll check it out.

Depending on the local theater/improv community you might be surprised how many introverts and/or computer people there are hiding in plainsight as if they were extroverts too!
