Hi everyone,

I’m a 23-year-old guy and, to be completely honest, I’m still a virgin and have never even had my first kiss. My biggest challenge right now is that I’m very afraid of talking to strangers.

I want to change this and start making progress, but I honestly don’t know where to begin. A lot of the time, I honestly feel like a loser because of how behind I am socially and romantically.

Does anyone have advice for a guy starting from zero at my age? How can I start overcoming this social anxiety?

You can be completely direct with me if needed — I’d rather hear the truth.

Thanks in advance for the help.
