Knowing how to use a skill is not the same as knowing how to teach it. 

A good teacher can tell you which exercise would provide you deliberate practice at improving on the skill that you want to learn.

A good teacher can point of mistakes that you are making. He can distinguish between mistakes that you can do something about and mistakes that aren't woth your attention because you can't fix the issue at your level.

A good teacher can tell you if a change that you made improved your technique. Positive feedback is important to keep the chance instead of going back to what you did beforehand. 

How do you become a good teacher? You teach people and see when you teach successfully and when your teaching is crap.

Trying to get layed on every social occasion is a ineffective strategy. Spending time on facebook for the sole purpose on maintaining relationship is ineffective. 

On the other hand deliberate practice is useful for increasing social skills. Saying "Hi" to every stranger you cross on the street doesn't take much time. If it's however out of your comfort zone as it is for most people, it helps you to grow your social skills.

There are other exercise like going out and asking 30 girl on a single day for the time that also can be worthwhile when you have low social skills. 

When it comes to actually deepening relationships, be yourself. When it comes to training your abilities, from time to time move outside your comfort zone.

No worries, I think a bit more self admiration would do you good.

I don't think the text of the back reads well. Whenever a sentence made it's point, start a new sentence to make the next point. Connecting the two sentences with ", and" serves no valid purpose.

"By age 24 he finally had a steady girlfriend, and life seemed good." -> "By age 24 he finally had a steady girlfriend. Life seemed good."

Having the text separated into multiple paragraphs would also look nicer.

Most people don't say "Hi" to everybody they see. When I say everyone I don't mean, your friends and those people who study the same thing as you do.

I mean everyone. Strangers. If you already do it on campus go to a public place where there are a lot of strangers.

"It doesn’t matter who-what-when-where-how the creator chooses to executes his vision as long as the final product is what he intended it to be. "

Take a company like Skype. They weren't the first voice over IP company. Not even within the first 10. They just did the who-what-when-where-how  better than their competitors. When it comes to big ideas, there are usually a lot of people who have the idea and the one who's best at executing it wins. 

Ideas are a dime a dozen.

"I''ve given hints to hang out countless time, all have been rejected or deflected as I like to say."

Giving hints is not enough. Girls like confident guys. Ask her directly. Then you have your answer. 

"Not only that, my standards are high (physically) so hitting on girls out at parties has been intimidating."

That's an excuse. If you successful hit on a girl that isn't very beautiful you don't have to have a relationship with her. It's practice. Practice will help you to develop skills.

Otherwise how about taking up a challenge for the next month:

"b. Being injured and healing at the standard rate, instead of healing at the enhanced rate I desire"If you heal faster but have a higher chance of developing cancer that's no success for the goal of beating death. Many scientific studies that investigate mortality come to different conclusions about the effectiveness of treatments that measure markers that supposedly predict health.

What do you mean with <15 failed attempts? Don't you need to believe in reincarnation to be able to do 15 failed attempts at escaping death? If you believe in reincarnation what's the point of beating death in the first place?

>When designing SETT, I really wanted it to be possible to log in without the page refreshing. To the best of my knowledge, no content-heavy sites have ever done anything like that. I almost gave up on the idea before even trying it, just because no one else had done it before. But then I realized that for SETT to be successful, I would have to do a LOT of things that no one else had done before. I took a crack at it, and again it turns out that it wasn't all that tough.

In this case I would ask myself or somewhere online: "Why does no content heavy website does it that way?" Probably not because they think it's possible but because they think that the advantages aren't greater than the disadvantages. 

PS: Getting something to be formatted as a proper citation seems to be hard on SETT
