As the title says, I’ve recently taken up photography for local concerts where I talk to indie bands, etc. I’ve been noticing the biggest issue I have is holding up a conversation or getting nervous and panicking. I don’t know why I’m like this with new people but I want to be more open with this stuff. I wish I was more extroverted. So I guess what I’m asking is, what’s the best approach to going up to people and saying hello without feeling impending doom? I see them but then I freeze.
I fear this is a big deal because the one social skill I need in this work is that interaction. Plus I don’t know, it’ll make it easier to make friends in person. #relationships
