Im 21 born in 1994, This has been a problem that has really affected my confidence to approach women or even have a fridndly civil conversation, it just never goes right and ends up being too awkward and makes you too shy to speak to other women and girls? How do I stop being awkward with women, im not necessarily shy around women but a bit on the awkward side. I end up getting to creepy to a woman and for some reason they already can sense that I'm flirting with them even if im not but just being friendly with them. I find it really hard to make friends woth females since all my friends are guys, It is so fuzzy and true like it's like a barrier installed in me that is saying, don't talk to women and dont approach them. I also fear rejection and am afraid of being told off by women when it comes to them rejecting you and that is also a problem which makes me sick of even having female friends and giving up on them, since there really isnt that much incommon with a male and female other than just dating and sex.... Im normally never around females since i have no female friends and any close female family members which could also be another reason for my lack of experience with how women are and how a male interacts with a female.

Talk to women the same way you talk to men. We are normal human beings. Be polite. Smile.

That's it. No big deal.

Yup... You only fear rejection if you go into the conversation looking for one thing, a mate. Focus not so much on trying to score but simply to strike an interesting conversation. It takes practice for some of us that are on the shy side....

You can try and join a group (hobby or interest). Since everyone is there for a particular reason, it is easy to break the ice. The point is to get used to simple conversation with women.... practice eases the nerves. You never know.. you just might meet someone special at one of those groups too.

The biggest way I got accustomed talking to women I wanted to be with was by talking to ALL women, including the ones I DIDN'T want to be with. Start small: smile at the cashier at the grocery store. Worst case situation, you're out of there in a few seconds anyway.

Maybe spend some time getting to know women. The bolded seems to be a problem. Women aren't some alien species, we are humans with interests in human things.

Practice and familiarity usually lessens fear and anxiety... make talking to women a common thing in your life so it isn't something to sweat over.

Talk to girls more often and then you can learn how to stop being awkward around them.

Change this attitude and you may have a better chance at success, women are much more than a vagina and the sooner you learn that the better off you will be. Also, if a woman thinks you are flirting then you are flirting and rejection is part of life and love so put on your big boy underoos, put yourself out into the real world and start getting used to speaking to women as humans not vaginas and learn how to handle rejection.
