I struggle with this a lot. I keep thinking: "Those who are really great and relevant, they don't need to go talk to strangers, it is strangers who go and approach them" This fuels negative thoughts about not being relevant enough so it's better to postpone any active social approach towards strangers up until I'll be relevant enough that they'd be approaching me instead. I somehow feel that this is a consequence of teenager me being in awe of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Guns n Roses and Aerosmith. Getting the aforementioned attitude: "If you are good enough they'll come to you and you'd not have to do anything socially...just showing your talents" Approaching strangers would be a defeat in a sense. Admitting that you are not good or rare or relevant enough to be approached by them instead. Maybe that's why my favorite country is Brazil and the Amazonas region to be specific
