I am shy in the fact that I cannot approach people for shit. I am fine talking to people such as in the event if they talk to me first, or if I am meeting them through another friend. I came to college about two months ago, and I have kind of made a friend circle out of 3 high school friends that I knew prior to coming to college, my roommate, and another guy. My problem is I dig myself into a routine with the same group of friends, and I'm not sure how to work myself out of it. I'd like to meet new people, but it's hard for me, especially since I always see people traveling in groups or talking in groups during classes. Also, because it is two months in, a lot of people already know each other already, so I feel it is harder to start conversations with them. My classes are also all lecture style, so there aren't any opportunities for group work where I could get the chance to talk to others. I have a hard time putting myself out there, and I am not sure how to get out of the habit of staying in my comfort zone. I am fine going out to parties or other events with my comfort circle of friends since, but I haven't really built many friendships outside of these people. Basically, I feel fine if I always have someone I know with me, but when I am alone, I feel like I close up and don't talk to anyone, because, well, I don't know how to. Does anyone have any tips for how to get over this?
