I’m in the final year of my BTech, and something happened today in the Delhi Metro that’s been on my mind.

A girl boarded at the same time as me, and she sat in the seat right in front of me. We made eye contact a couple of times during the journey from Mayur Vihar Phase 1 to Welcome (Pink Line). I felt like talking to her, but I just couldn’t.

I’ve studied in a boys’ school and stayed in a hostel, so I’ve barely interacted with girls. Because of that, I feel a lot of hesitation and fear when it comes to starting a conversation. If someone else starts talking to me, I can respond normally, but I just can’t take the first step.

Now that college is almost over, I don’t have any female friends, and I think it’s mainly because I never tried to talk. I do consider myself an introvert—I’m comfortable in small groups—but this feels more like fear than just introversion.

I don’t want to stay like this, but I genuinely don’t know how to change it. How do you even start a normal conversation with someone you don’t know, especially in situations like this?

Has anyone else dealt with something similar?
