Nobody is Perfect
Nobody’s perfect. Everyone has something wrong. They might be color blind, or they might be dyslexic. They might have teeth problems or their heart might be weak. They might have social anxiety or they might be OCD. Everyone has some kind of issue, so forgive yourself for any of your imperfections and don’t expect perfection out of others.

The Way Out

If you’re going through hell… keep going!
Quiting is not an option. Keep grinding and keep pushing until you break through.

Breaking the Ice
Here’s an easy hack if you want to talk to someone new: Find something the person is wearing and compliment it. Just a simple “love that bracelet or that’s an awesome shirt” is an easy way to open the conversation. No pressure and no commitment or anything. Makes the other person feel good.
In general, just being interested in the other person will cause them to open up and be more receptive.
