No. The problem is that there are two independent clauses “This does not automatically make me socially handicapped” and “i like to have fun and socialize with people” separated only by a comma. What this produces is called a run-on. To prevent creating a run-on sentence, either split this one into two sentences or turn the comma into a semicolon “;”
Hope this helped!

After “handicapped,” you can put a period or a semi-colon.
Daniel is right, but it still leaves open the question as to what “This” means. I would not offer suggestions unless and until I knew. Perhaps the changes should be in the preceding sentence as well as the one you cite.
Replace the comma with a colon or a dash.
