20M From DU : 0 Female interaction Since birth
I’m 20M, currently in DU and about to enter 3rd year. I did my entire schooling in a boys school, so before college I genuinely thought college would help me improve my interaction with girls and get rid of this weird fear/social awkwardness
But somehow the exact same thing happened here too. Our group became a 7 boys-only group and now I’m almost in 3rd year with literally 0 female interaction.
The problem is not even “talking” at this point, it’s overthinking HOW to talk. Like should I say “aap” and sound too formal/weird? Should I say “tum” and sound too frank? If I try to talk, I start thinking “what if she thinks I’m being creepy or trying too hard?” and then I just don’t talk at all.
A couple of times girls themselves started normal conversations with me, but even then I couldn’t continue properly because I genuinely don’t know what to talk about. My mind just goes blank.
And then I see some of the most random guys casually roaming around with girlfriends and I’m like HOW 😭
Also, this is not a “I desperately want a girlfriend” post. I honestly just want normal female interaction in life. Even a few female friends would be enough. I just want to get rid of this boys-school mindset/fear because in the future obviously I’ll have to interact with women normally in workplaces and life in general.
Did anyone else go through this? How did you fix it?
Also if any girl is reading this, your perspective/tips would genuinely help because maybe hearing it from the other side might make this overthinking less
