i feel like it isn’t a realistic expectation to expect somebody to come out of their comfort zone and be somebody they aren’t (“be the person that …”)

I'm not that afraid to go out of my comfort zone

but if I spontaneously talked to random people there is a good chance they'd see me as a dangerous lunatic given how weird I can be lol

There's nothing wrong with a bit of eccentricity, but of course people have limits. The ability to have impromptu conversations with strangers is a life skill worth learning. Being a bit weird or silly is endearing. Having it as a handicap in social situations, however, is a weakness
