This is like the first few chapters of "How to Win Friends & Influence People". Mostly never criticize people, it just makes them want to save face.

The tone of Aditya Pakki's message makes me think they would be very well served by reading 'How to Win Friends & Influence People' by Dale Carnegie.

This is obviously the complete opposite of how you should be communicating with someone in most situations let alone when you want something from them.

I have sure been there though so if anything, take this as a book recommendation for 'How to Win Friends & Influence People'.

The key to finding people is to go meet people. This doesn't even mean changing your lifestyle but simply getting yourself out there. One friend of mine met his future wife at a Scala conference. Another did so at an anime meetup. Another in a local very geeky artists group (twice actually for him). Another in a Japanese class. If your issue is not knowing how to interact socially then go read books like "How to Win Friends & Influence People" and watch how other people interact socially. I knew one guy who did an amazing roast of someone during an event not due to natural talent for humor but due to sheer relentless study of that area.
