"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

I mean in class sometimes I'll talk to someone (if the class is a lab and we're forced to), but other than that outside of class I never talk except with my roommate sometimes. My roommate though is a moron and if it weren't for being an athlete he'd be mowing lawns somewhere.

I don't understand how? I literally have no clue, I've already tried clubs and I couldn't find anything at all interesting to me that wasnt athletic.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Baby steps. Work on just saying simple greetings and acknowledgements to people. Don't feel like you need to have a full blown conversation everytime you talk to someone.

Your reluctance to talk to people is the result of associating it with negative experiences. Practice, start out simple, and build up a foundation of positive experiences.
