Struggling to Talk to Women as a Shy Guy

Hey guys,

I’ve always been a shy person, and honestly, talking to women is one of those things I just can’t seem to figure out. It’s not that I don’t want to; I just freeze up and overthink everything. I’ll see an opportunity to say something, but I overanalyze it so much that I just end up saying nothing or saying something dumb.

I feel like I’m stuck in this loop of awkwardness and self-doubt. I don’t want to come off as weird or make things uncomfortable, but at the same time, I know I need to step out of my comfort zone.

Have any of you dealt with this before? How did you work through it? I’d really appreciate some practical advice or even just hearing about your experiences.

Thanks for reading.
