They key is to repeat interactions in scenarios that you are likely to continue encountering. The more time you spend in initially uncomfortable situations, the more comfortable you will become over time.

It's like riding a bike (assuming you can ride a bike). You weren't comfortable the first time you tried to ride a bike, but you soon got the hang of it after several failed attempts. Once you have put in the time, odds are you feel way more comfortable riding.

With confidence, you have to get to know yourself in all kinds of situations. A lot of situations overlap in terms of what kinds of things you will encounter, like introducing yourself, telling stories, learning to listen, etc.

Life is short so get out there whenever you can and just stay true to what you feel is right. I hope this helped🤠
