Can anyone share their own experiences of talking to new people? Or to people who you've met a few times, maybe exchanged very few words with?
How did you progress the relationship into a friendship, or a close acquaintance, or a romantic relationship?
I'm nervous about talking to people. The sting of many rejections and things having gone wrong in the past, some of it recent lingers in my mind.
Have you thought about trying a new hobby or doing something to help with your confidence. I am learning fire spinning but without the fire hopefully in a few months I’ll be ready. I find that will be a huge confidence boost for me and meeting people along the way it’s great but can be overwhelming.
Hmm, okay, thank you.
It really does depend on how you feel about the person. If you have the ability to reach out to them, I'd just go with what feels right to you in terms of starting a conversation.
I'd suggest not forcing it, and if you feel the interaction is draining you, try and back away.
