How do you talk to someone you don’t know who joins in a group knowing your friends or even not knowing them but they are cool?
I’m not sure what to do but based off reactions I can tell that I’m being off and giving people wrong vibes. I’m usually quiet sometimes introduce myself but I genuinely don’t know how to enter the conversation most times.
I was in a relationship where I wasn’t aloud to talk to most people for a few years and had to silently watch to make sure he would approve before I spoke and that got me in the habit of being weird and standoffish at first. I genuinely don’t mean it and I feel bad when I make people feel unwelcome or thrown off, I genuinely love meeting new people.
