Pretty much the title:

My social skills suck ass, and this is exacerbated by my personal insecurities since my SMV is in the lowest of the low (skinnyfat, underaverage looks, underachieving goals, etc.). From what I have gathered, monk mode seems like a good path to efficiently improve these aspects of my persona and character; but it worries that this would in turn worsen my social skills due to a substantial decrease of social interaction (which I'm already lacking).

My questions are:

Is monk mode a viable path to take in my situation?

Should I take a half measure (i.e., Occasionally socialize once a month)?

Am I misunderstanding the concept of monk mode?

I apologize for my English. I’m not a native speaker.
