Hi @green_racoon 

I love that you want to put yourself out there! 

I often find that taking the lead on converstions makes me seem less awkward. I like to rehearse some topics/things to say before I engage in conversation so that I have some things to fall back on if there's a lull in the conversation.

Also, asking other people open questions about themselves helps because you get to know more about them, deepen the connection, and make them feel like you're very interested in them.
