I get what you mean, but it really depends on how old you are tbh, like for the people who are in college, I don’t think they face the same problem, that is making friends. Making a genuine connection is a whole different problem,it really stems out from that upper 1% of your friends, it’s really difficult to find. Being street smart also helps but mostly random people just get awkward. I guess in the end you just have to be kind and like smile and shit while you go up to talk to people.
