I'm active in my local music scene and im a huge fan of one of the bands but I find it extremely hard to talk to them. One reason is that im just in general kind of bad at socializing, especially with people I admire and think are cool. Another reason is that I everytime I try to talk to them it just feels extremely awkward and i overthink how im supposed to socialize without them thinking im some stalker fan?? And i think they've noticed me trying to talk to them before 💀💀
I've gotten reassurance that they probably appreciate my enthusiasm bcs they are less popular but I feel like they may be put off by my awkward demeanor, which sucks because I really want to befriend them. I would specifically really like tips on how to socialize with people without overthinking every aspect or coming off as off-putting/awkward and im hoping that can help with this situation.
