Hi seddit. I am a 19 year old college student who has been lurking here on seddit for about a year now. I am a kissless virgin and for the last 3 months I have been trying to change that with no result so far

I started working out, I found a new hobby (other than video games), and I do well in school. I feel like I have good body language and I have no problem making eye contact with people.

Since school started i have been trying to push myself to go and approach women but i cant seem to be able to get over my approach anxiety. I don't have many friends on campus or even in this country for that matter. I am not a native English speaker and while I am almost at a fluent level i still feel very insecure about the fact that i can barely speak a sentence without pausing or mispronouncing something. I will sometimes smile as i walk past people in the street and I will usually get a smile back. And while I know it is a good time to approach i can't make myself do it though. Whenever I am faced with an opportunity i will usually just go blank and keep walking as if nothing has happened. I will then usually come up with some excuse in my head about why she wouldn't be interested or why she is probably in a hurry. As I said this has been going on for 3 months and at this point I am starting to feel a little depressed and demotivated.
