Don’t dive right into the deep end if your anxiety will prevent you from talking to people.

Practice making small talk in casual settings. Maybe take up a hobby where you can meet people.

I heard somewhere that an easy way to try is with cashiers or other staff. You got 30 seconds to chat and if you mess it up you've already got an out and can walk away. Just read the room and make sure they aren't crazy busy of course

I did this, it's a great place to start.

As a cashier, we love this; but for the love of god don't ask abt our aspirations. I'm already a cashier no need to dwell on dreams that didn't happen.

One customer asked me if I had vacations plans to go to France. I just started working full time to pay for college and an apartment. Its been 5 years and I still haven't taken a vacay :'(
