there is no way you can be better than you are now because any change you're going to be making is going to be made by the same you you are now
ok let me explain that through example yea, so you're a plumber right, you built a pipeline and it ain't what it could be, well if you're the one fixing it you're going to make the same mistakes because of course you set out to build something that is good in the first place when you made it right?
same problem with self improvement, how the hell do you know what is better than what you are now, you don't hire the same fuck up to fix your car twice if he broke it the first time

just keep being yourself, stop trying to be better and you'll become better overtime by yourself, find people that like you for you and eventually you'll find people that like you for you instead of whatever persona you're trying to pull
the downside of getting friends by persona is that they're not your friends, they're your persona's friends and you will have to all the time wear that mask around them and you'll feel fake and guilty about it

tldr; be yourself, roll the dice until you land on people who enjoy your company or just find a extrovert to adopt you as their friend
