Great Movie.

Confidence....in regards to conversations and meeting people just means living in the moment. Be interested...be intersting. Don't worry if you say something dumb...laugh it off. If you truly have good intentions and care for your friends, people will pick up on that and be naturally drawn to you. Don't try to be funny, just let it come.

My best advice would be take a job or something that forces you to talk to people you dont know.

Specifically waiting tables is great. You have to approach large groups of people, project yourself confidently, sell something and be personable. Telling jokes and laughing with the guests will come quickly. If the place is busy then you can quickly just get caught up in the flow of things and completely loose yourself in all the conversations and tasks you have at hand.
Additionally, youll be working with lots of young outgoing people and make some great friends.
