Fig, it is you're ego getting in the way. What? Yup. Nobody gives a shit. YOU are concerned about what people think about you. They don't care. You have to come to the understanding that your insecure ego is in the way. You mean nothing to them... good or bad.

Really. When you finally realize nobody cares you will have the first step to freedom. The next step is to be like them. Not give a shit about what they think.

I was like that. Now I can talk to anybody because I don't care.
Simple steps. You can find help online. The best thing is just to say hello to a stranger everyday. Anything, really.
>Beautiful day
>Lovely weather
anything sincere
That also includes any comment that is sincere. At a checkout line? Like someone's hair, shoes, t-shirt, bracelet, etc.
It's easy. Simple comment with no expectations of any further interaction ir ever seeing them again.

I could fix you. Because you are not broken.
