Let me tell you that I am going through the same exact feeling as a Freshman. The thing that I am slowly coming to realize is that it is all about confidence and a lack of fear. There will be opportunities that people will give to make short witty remarks or some quick small talk even though they already have their friends so why sully those opportunities worrying about what the “right” thing to say is?

If you have confidence in yourself and don’t cloud your mind with doubts about whether or not you’re going to make a good impression in these short moments of opportunity you are much more likely to make social interaction that you can be proud of. It really all comes down to simply having almost blind confidence in yourself. More often than not the reason why people feel that they are socially awkward is simply because they are overthinking these little opportunites and trying to hard. At least for me, the worrying is what made social interaction such a difficulty.
