when you say “a woman I want to talk to”, do you mean someone you’d want to make a pass at? please don’t take this the wrong way, but it’s a Good thing to not feel entitled to random women’s attention just bc you find them attractive. very many of us hate being hit on in public when we’re minding our own business trying to go about our days. you deserve to feel good about yourself, but that doesn’t mean you should be cocky enough to go around pestering unfamiliar women based on their looks
honestly i’d say focus on yourself and being comfortable with yourself. find things in yourself to love and build your own confidence. talking to women will come with healing yourself. it’s also important to recognize that while it is up to you at the end of the day to take the steps to healing, its just as important to find a support system that is beneficial to you- if that’s friends, therapist, psychiatrist, anything. i’m no where close to perfect and in my 20’s, it takes time and patience
U just gotta work on building ur confidence it can be hard to do alone tho. I think generally talking about ur feelings with ppl helps or trying out rejection therapy which is just talking to ppl with the expectation of getting rejected, you’d be surprised how often you are accepted
