New challenge coming up - Making myself talk to people

I'm easing into this one and starting it maybe next month?. Still brainstorming but here's the jist.

- At least once a day if I see someone I find interesting I have to walk up to them and talk to them. It can be anything, made up, whatever

- I'm not allowed delivery, I have to go to the place and order, and talk to people.

Sort of like rejection practice, or just social practice?. I think it's weird nobody speaks anyway. I'll post any interesting results as I do it 🤷

That is a fun interesting idea. Just walk up to a total stranger and say
"Hello, do you have time for a quick chat?"
"Well, I am actually waiting for my bus so sure"
"You live near here?"
<looks at you suspiciously and moves back a step>
"Oh sorry, I mean.. um.. I live near by and I have a problem talking to people, and my plan is to talk to someone each day and see if that helps"
"I see OK, umm... yea, not too far from here.. you seem normal enough"
"Oops, here comes the bus"
"Bye"

Something like that?

@JamesBugman
I tried this last week
"How long have you been living here"
"1990"
"I wasn't born yet"
