Hi Eric

Thank you for replying!

They probably stopped because you showed no interest in talking. If you initiate they may resume interest.

Have you tried the small steps of saying hello to the people you don’t speak to?

What is your favourite thing to talk about to friends that you are more comfortable with?

It can be difficult to talk about Tv shows unless you find common interests.

Shyness can come across as lack of interest or rudeness sometimes. This is why it’s helpful to tell people that you are shy and enjoy talking to them. They will forgive a lot if you give them a good reason for your behaviour.
