All you gotta do is go in there and go for a new 1 rep max. Find someone and say, "Hey can you spot me real quick? I'm trying a 1 rep PR."
100% of people will agree.
They spot your lift, you say thanks, they say no problem, you say, "I never caught your name." They introduce themselves, you introduce yourself.
BOOM! Ice broken.
Now you can either keep talking or leave and when you see him another day say, "Whaddup (insert name here)? We never really got to talk. Are you in school? Where do you work? Whats your routine? You take supplements? You bulking? (insert a million different questions here)????"
If you hit it off, cool. If not. Find a new spotter
@coriouswhere you already have shared experiences.
I have read the book. I know everything about how to deal with people. But I just can't start the conversation.

Another good book related to Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People is Les Giblin's How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with Poeple
If there is a reason for it I dont have trouble. For example selling something in person. I can do it normally. But outside business, or outside common ground. I just find it hard to break the ice.
problem solved

@lewj24No matter how awkward or shitty the conversations are if you go up to everyone he points out you get your money back. If you chicken out you lose $100. I bet after one day you will find it way easier to approach strangers.
I like the money method! [emoji38] Make it even more motivating...Do it when you are broke and have no extra money left over. Make conversation or starve!Is this a confidence issue? If you lack confidence you need to figure out why. Then you need to improve on the things that are making you lack confidence. Then convince yourself you're the most confident man alive and fake it till you make it.
Or
Go out with a friend. Give him $100. And tell him that you have to talk to whoever he tells you to. No matter how awkward or shitty the conversations are if you go up to everyone he points out you get your money back. If you chicken out you lose $100. I bet after one day you will find it way easier to approach strangers.
Especially if you have already read books on this then it sounds like you just have to force yourself to actually do it. Practice makes perfect.
