      That's with anything. Nervousness means you care about what you're about to do in the moment. When you start doing something you'll notice how easy it is and that it wasn't such a big deal and then your nerves won't be as bad next time and it'll eventually just go away with time. Then you become a natural at what you're doing. 🙂

      With younger ppl it's 50/50 some are really easy to talk to and some are afraid to even look you in the eye. Older ppl ALL love to talk - even the grumpy looking ones ha ha they are the ones that light up in a smile :) middle aged folk are boring as hell and will stare out in empty air just to avoid any eye contact for most part. Kids will either ask you something completely unexpected or just stand right on front of you and stare O_O ha ha this seems to be universal from my experience

    This is probably my favorite video on the internet. Because it just gives you so much hope. As someone who's never had any real life friends before, this gives me a lot of hope. I mean, I've had "high school friends" in the past but we've never really stayed in touch after i left school and i regret it now because if we did, i would've been having some friends by now but then again at the time i was dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression which turned me into a completely different person. But if anyone wants to be friends, I'm down lol 😂

I only talk to 4 or 5 students from campus. They are nice ppl but can't say we're genuinely 'friends' like that cause we only talk under important circumstances. Im actually going to start studying offline next year, and Im so anxious, what if I'm not able to get good close friends from campus, and be all alone.

      Yes, simply approaching and talking to strangers doesn't make them your friend, but you still gain something valuable from them (unless they really don't wanna talk). Like maybe they tell you something interesting about their lives and you learn maybe about something new, which can open your eyes or expand your horizon. You also become more comfortable with talking to people who might actually become your friends.
