I have an issue internally. If I'm in a classroom, my presence is huge, like I charm the entire class with charisma and people normally chat with me and strike up a conversation. A woman literally opened me and over time gave me her number by her choice without me bringing it up. I regret not taking the chance. But, the key part is, in a environment, I can give people great vibes and they sense it.

The main issue is when I'm not in an environment or I'm a stranger, I can't really talk as if I feel I have no right. Out in the middle of the street, walking to class and out in the open. I was at a bloody concert and didn't talk to anyone nearby who was asking questions. It's like my social, optimistic side shuts off when with strangers. It's not a female thing, it's practically humans. The eye contact is also an issue because I believe I'm intruding.

But talk with friends and their coworkers without even seeing them for the first time and I can be the social guy of the group. So, people of Seddit, is there anything to help me grow confident and comfortable in areas revolving on locations or areas where I'd be timid and afraid? I'm heading back to college and trying to spark up great fun with my fellow classmates and expand my social circle.
