23 year old guy who has never had a legit relationship or active friendships here. How do I make the most out of 2026? I want to be a completely different person physically, mentally and socially. I want to be better. Should I just try everything? New hobbies? Meetup events? Social gatherings?

Yes, try everything socialization-wise. The other stuff depends on what you're looking for mentally and physically. It also depends on what you're already working with: work, family life, education, etc.

So what I'm working with is I'm not in college but I'm currently working two jobs so that's something I guess.

They're both retail jobs. Grocery store clerk and cashier in a pharmacy.

That could help you socially if you know how to make quick small talk (while still being aware of others time)

Yeah. True. It's kind of strict though, a lot of cameras pointed at my ugly mug and managers up your ass so high you would think they have a scat fetish. Gotta be low-key and quick, like kissing your grandma on the cheek or picking up a dollar bill off the ground.

OP you've already got the right idea/mindset unlike a lot the doom & gloom schmucks here

I think you're being a little paranoid here >>34029400 small talk is exactly that. small talk. could be just a few exchanged words, doesn't even need to be a conversation.

Shoot the shit w/ coworkers, get on all the dating apps (with NO expectations), go to bars, concerts, comedy shows, conventions, clubs/facebook groups, car meetups, there's social gatherings for everything.

We believe in you!

I'd probably look into the kaizen method just 1% better each day that means end of 2026 your 365% better at all you listed.

Shit what you got to lose not much but all to gain being the best version of you.

Also read some philosophy books try some stoicism and camus is pretty good as well.
