Acquaintances with new people sometimes give rise to uncertainty and fear, regardless of who these people are - parents of the second half, new work colleagues, or just a person who interests you. These fears can be overcome, and then daily meetings with strangers will give positive emotions.
Instruction manual
one
Tune in to communication. It is on communication, not on acquaintance. Imagine that you have already spoken with the person you are interested in, and now your new meeting has happened. Invent a dialogue that you have already held, give the person some qualities, let your judgment be erroneous in the future. Remember how it was in childhood - for the first time the child is embarrassed to speak, but as soon as the barrier is broken, he calls the new face a friend. Imagine that this line is already broken, and in front of you is your friend.

Remember that you are not losing anything. Before you approach to get acquainted, evaluate the situation. There are you. If you approach a person who is of interest to you, there may be two of you. The worst that can happen with a failed acquaintance - you will be considered strange or eccentric. This thought will stay with you for several hours or days, and then it will be forgotten. If the acquaintance begins, then, quite possibly, you will get a friend or someone more in life. The basis of fear is the fear of rejection, if you deal with it, it will be much easier for you.
3
Do not think for a long time about whether it is worth getting to know a person or not. The longer you discuss this topic, the more doubt you have about this, and the more you become unsure of yourself. Even if you want to meet a person for a long time, but you are not going to get together, come up during the first minutes at a new meeting with him.

Practice. If your goal is to easily make acquaintances in general, try communicating daily with different people you meet, this will help you get rid of fear of strangers. Start your practice with grateful interlocutors - grandmothers at the entrance, then switch to cashiers at grocery stores (especially at the end of the day), and then to bored young mothers with strollers, provided that their child is sleeping. After some time, you generally stop thinking and doubting before talking to the person you are interested in.
