Try joining clubs, going to community events and volunteering to meet new people?

Eye contact and smiling is important. If ur about to walk past someone, give them a compliement and see how they take it. That way its not going to be awkward as if they dont respond, you can carry on walking lol
I sort of get you bc i struggle with the same thing. I do think it depends on the person because i know some people won't be affected by having a 2 min conversation with a stranger(or at least be polite to them) but then some people will make it clear that they hate talking to you.
Best thing to do is always remember that you might make someone else happy and hit it off (if it goes well) or that you'll probably never see them again(if it goes wrong).
