For example when my friend is talking to a stranger, let's call the stranger Daniel, it's easier for me to talk to Daniel too. But when my friend isn't there and it's just me and Daniel, I feel super nervous and anxiety. Why does this happen, maybe I am weak minded or don't have strong personality
because having your friend around makes you feel more confident, yeah its normal you probably aint the only one like this
Look. Being around a friend makes you more confident. But if you want to get over that fear. Try this. Go out with a goal. At every store you go to compliment the cashier. Find something about them that you like. Make eye contact and tell them they have a nice smile or voice or ... just be sincere. Or...genuinely ask them how they are doing. You'd be surprised at how much people really do crave human interaction. But we fear it as well. And if you want someone you don't know to like you...ask questions. People love talking about themselves. It's human nature. As long as you are sincere you'll most certainly illicit a response. It's not guaranteed but very likely and if you do this at every store you'll get a feel for who will talk and who won't. That will ease you're mind when talking to any stranger.
I think this is quite normal for most of us. The extreme extroverts may not have this problem, but for me, I'd rather stay home than venture out for an evening alone. Sometimes I force myself to go out alone, but it usually doesn't end with me having a good time. But every once in a while; whoopee. Of course, I'd rather talk to Daniella than Daniel, but that's just my preference.
