You just have to not care what they think. After college I realized I waisted so much time because I was too afraid to talk to people. I’ve been scarred by having a girl be into me and then I talk to them and they are suddenly not interested anymore. But not every girl is like that… I realized I can’t hold myself back and just put myself out there after school was over. I met my future wife a few months later and have been happier than ever
