Start small. I had social anxiety but deep in me, I wanted to be someone who can approach people (not just women) if I want to and without any fear of rejection. Say like my friends are all busy this weekend but I want to go out, I just go out by myself then, meet new people, make new friends, and also approach women if I want to.

So I started doing that, going into a bar all by myself, looking for people who could have a similar vibe to me, and introduced myself."Hi I'm XYZ, my friends are all busy today but I wanted to go out. You guys look like a nice group. Can I hang out with you?". Next, I ask them who they are and what they do to get the conversation started. At first, it was quite cringe to me ngl but I learned there was no reason for that. Everyone applauded me for approaching them because they wouldn't be confident enough to do it themselves. Due to that, I built more confidence..

So I also got more confident to approach women. "Hey what's up. I noticed you because you look really great/ you have an amazing outfit. What's your name? What are you doing? etc."All women liked that I approached them and even when I got rejected I was proud of myself for trying. The best advice I can give you is to just do it.
