There is someone in my class who I would really like to be friends with, but I am too shy to approach them. I have always struggled with social anxiety, and the thought of starting a conversation with this person is overwhelming. I know that they seem really nice, and I think we would have a lot in common, but I just can't seem to muster up the courage to talk to them. I have tried to overcome my shyness in the past, but it always seems to hold me back. I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to make a new friend, but I also don't want to come off as weird or awkward.
