So I've always had massive social anxiety. I have forced myself to approach women in public despite that, since it's the normal thing to do, but even if I muster the courage, I usually come off like a weirdo.
If I worked around people, or when I was in school, it was different. If it's a context where I have any other reason to justify my talking to people, it's easy for me. And I think in an environment like that, I'd be getting to know a lot of women over a period of time, and I could probably find a good match.
As things stand, I'm a bit of an eccentric so it makes sense I'd have a bit more trouble finding a match, and I'm just rolling the dice every time. I've considered trying to join some sort of social club, but I'm not sure what that even looks like after school.
