Depending on why you want to go, either a) pick a small local con. go every year. The first year you will stand around awkwardly a lot listening to conversations by people who have clearly known each other for years. by the second year people will recognize you and try to have conversations with you like you have known each other for years. it will still be awkward.

or b) go to a huge national con with lots of dealers and celebrity guests. You will spend most of your time standing in line or shopping. That is socially sanctioned standing around awkwardly. you will be less likely to make friends but nobody will notice if you don't.

either way, c) contact the con runners and offer to volunteer. you will then be assigned to stand around awkwardly, but you will be wearing a badge that says you are doing it for justice, so it's okay. usually you will be assigned to stand around awkwardly with other people who are required to interact with you, and friends will happen.

and d) remember that basically nobody goes to a fan con unless they are socially awkward already. you are not alone. find the person in the room who looks even more awkward and alone than you. there will be at least one. go say hi. they will be so grateful you will have a friend for life.
