Heyy Genuine Question?

I am now working for 4.5 years so basically I am working most of times as WFH so never had a chance of interaction with team or other people in office so basically I am lacking a the social life so for now I am regretting as I am trying to meet new people it's difficult to start a conversation with anyone and like I have never gone to parties or any events like thatt soo now I am just trying to connect to people but feels weird it's like I am trying to make people to speak with me other than it just a causal thingg have anyone felt like thiss any ideas just puzzled???

Start speaking to people you have business with. Eg, Watchman, shopkeeper, Auto/ cab driver, etc. Its nothing to lose situation. Then gradually move to neighbours, random strangers etc

Hii I can speak with like a watchman shopkeeper easily. So if I am having some purpose to speak I can speak easily with anyone but to speak with someone without any context like causal talks its veryy hardd like making a new frd itss very hardd I am having frds from my college where I can connect with them easily same type of bonding I am trying but always feels like I am forcing myself

Totally normal - a LOT of people who’ve been WFH for years feel this way. You’re definitely not alone. A very easy, low-pressure way to start: free virtual events. Platforms like Eventbrite have tons of e-events: not just in your city or India, but global ones too. Pick themes you genuinely like (health, meditation, photography, yoga, book talks, games, tech, psychology, anything really). Join as a participant → ask questions → share atleast one thought. That’s it. No forced small talk. Just active participation and listening.

Once you’re comfortable virtually, slowly move offline: book clubs, fitness groups, painting or other hobby clubs, local meetups around your interests - whatever works best for you. The key shift: don’t try to “make people talk to you.” Just show up where conversations already exist around shared interests. Engagement feels natural there.

Start virtual, build confidence then go local. These may seem like small steps - it will lead to bigger, meaningful changes!

This also happens with me but I have realised that the ppl with whom I share my interest I'm the talkative person.

Join groups on Meetup around your interests, and go to real life events organized by those groups. It’s a good forum to meet like-minded strangers
