>>5381470Hey man, I had the same problem and worked it the same way by just talking to people. I also reccomend saying an extra sentence to the store clerks you deal with. For example, when they ask you how you are or if you found everything ok, say yes you did and ask them how they are doing. After you are more comfortable with that, add one more line in there.
The best compliment I ever got from anyone was about a year after I really started working on talking to people, a girl told me I was the least awkward person she ever met. It's now 9 years later and I'm great at talking 1-on-1, but still shit in groups. Oh well.
