Glad you're already getting it, but for everyone else reading:

It's not a self help book in the sense of helping out awkward people fake being less awkward. It's a classic on how to build relationships and should be part of every good business school curriculum. There's loads of good stuff in there that help you regardless of where you're at. I never hesitate to recommend it to friends who are looking to improve- whether they're already natural pros or introverts who have never put themselves out there before. PG recommends it too if that helps: http://paulgraham.com/startupfaq.html
