What are your thoughts on approaching new people in a public setting

I must ignore my comfort zone for a while and try to do this away from the online world. My intention is to try new things and make a friend or two.

•This approach was my idea but Ai put it into a script (Give or take a few words) in Arabic and I translated it to show it on here

•I wanted to show it to my best friend in offline life but I don't know I thought putting it on SW first is a better idea

•I don't know why I'm making it a huge deal, I know I should just go with it.

•I always fear strangers thinking I'm extremely weird and not smart I have to beat this

Of course! Here's the English translation of your script, keeping the tone respectful, sincere, and natural:

[quote]Sure! Here's the full translation of your message into **natural, respectful English** — keeping the tone warm and polite, just like the original:

## 🎭 **Polite Introduction Script Based on Your Style:**

> 🎙 **Modi (with a smile and calm tone):**
>
> "Good evening, may I take a minute of your time?
> I know this might not be the usual way to do things, but I’ve been wanting for a while to start meeting new people in a respectful way.
> I saw you and thought I’d take my chance — without causing any discomfort.
>
> Would that be okay?"

> 🗨 **If she smiles or says “go ahead”:**
>
> "Thanks for taking it kindly…
> My name is ........ I won’t take much of your time — I just wanted to get to know you as a person. Nothing intense, even if it’s just a simple start."

## ☝ Strengths of This Script:

* It starts with **respecting her time** (makes her feel safe)
* It makes it clear you’re **not trying to hit on her**, but genuinely looking to connect
* The phrase “take my chance” adds a **light and humble** touch
* You’re giving her **the choice** to engage or not

---

## 🧠 Pro Tips:

* If you sense hesitation or rejection, exit gracefully:

> "No worries at all, I appreciate your time — have a great day 🙏"
* Always focus more on **her reaction** than your words
* Practice the script out loud to sound natural and confident

Would you like me to write a more playful or casual version of this script? Or maybe rewrite it in a relaxed **street-style English**?

You are so awesome! What an absolutely great idea! I have been doing the same. Getting out of my comfort zone and boy it has worked wonders. Whenever I go to Walmart I just go up to people now and I wouldn't ordinarily do that but I am like you, I want to get out of my comfort zone, because I do have social anxiety, believe it or not hahaha, so I just go up to them now, and if I see that their hair looks really great or what they're wearing is great, I will tell them just to get a conversation started and they love it. They are very receptive and responsive. I don't say things though unless I mean them and so they really appreciate that. I mean you don't have to have a script just go and say hey how you doing today you look great! Just anything like that. Or I might ask someone do you know where they have put such and such a product? Of course I could ask the Walmart worker's but that also breaks the ice and then I joke with them or something. It's really great! I'm so glad you're doing this. You can even say something as simple as high, how's your day going? Or if you're in the plant section you can say oh isn't this one a beautiful plant. It's really easy. I think one can overthink these things. I think you'll do great.

@LadyGrace I like your conversation starter ideas

Thanks for the encouraging words ☺ I want to start from a public park which is easy for me to go to and it's not a street so I think I'll reach somewhere.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Thanks, yes, and you can ask people at the park if there is a lake around or if you see one, you can ask if there's any ducks in it and can anyone feed them.
