I feel like the entire problem isn’t that people are literally incapable of talking to people, but for one reason or another there’s a mental barrier preventing it. Just telling someone to “just do it” does nothing when the brain is convincing them not to. Idk it feels like “just be yourself” advice

Count down from five and then go

If talking to people is hard and scary then sit in the common areas while people are there and overtime the other people hanging out there will become more familiar and they may even talk to you first

Then also if you recognize the people you’re hanging around a lot in the dining hall then go ask if you can sit with them and if that’s too scary go near them and see if they invite you over

Overtime you’ll recognize them more and they’ll recognize you more and you’ll all talk more and you’ll have friends
