This is me encouraging you: The worst thing that can happen is you embarrass yourself and everyone forgets a day later, but so many good things can come out of a new friendship. Support, connections, and different experiences are all things I have come to gather after talking to more people. Do not let yourself wonder what could have happened if you had just been brave, and do not pass up ANY opportunity to make new friends. Just think about all the people you might have missed in your haze of self-critics. Friendship is one of humanity's most beautiful things, so step out of your comfort zone and make new connections!
