    Wish I was normal. I am WAY too socially awkward to start a conversation. Usually I need at least a couple of hours to warm up to somebody.

      I feel I get that way when I’m out of practice for too long. These days, I just need a bit of coffee and I’m usually good to go with some light small talk lol.

        Occupy the same space and have group conversations instead of one-on-ones I guess.

        Like, invite people to join your group instead of going out just with you, it’s less threatening and less of a “thing”.

          That’s what I meant though. It shouldn’t be “a thing.” It’s just a conversation. Group conversations are still conversations. You just have to see them as people, not as a goal. Once you get to know them and you find out of you actually like them, as a person, then you can more easily persue them without seeming weird.
