To whoever said that (or anyone who DON’T talk to people when trying to date): have you tried improv? Improv comedy would help you talk to people better, and would probably give you the confidence and courage
So if a person struggles with confidence your solution is for them to stand upon stage? There seems to be an important first step that seems to have been skipped.
Dying a virgin is so underatted. You can only be manipulated so long as you have wants, so long as you specifically want something from other people, they will just exploit you.
To practice improv is just to practice social skills. And, I don’t know how else to say this, a lack of social skill is the fundamental root problem here. Anyone who lacks confidence in this way is going to have to learn them one way or another.
A real first step might be learning to be brave and charging through one’s anxiety to get to the improv center, but they have to go. Whether it’s improv or something else, they have to go.

Hey, they’re recycling the classics!
If it’s any consolation many of us are old fogeys (from an internet perspective), and likely understood it immediately. I know I did!
Certainly, but it works better when you are the DM rather than a player.

You’ve gotta take the first step yourself, no one can do that for you.
Or don’t. Be a shutin. Fear the mailman. Die a virgin. I’m not your boss.

The first steps are the part they have difficulty with.
It is like asking help with addition and subtraction, and giving info on how to do matrices and arithmetic.
Improv doesn’t have to be on a stage.
To practice improv is just to practice social skills. And, I don’t know how else to say this, a lack of social skill is the fundamental root problem here. Anyone who lacks confidence in this way is going to have to learn them one way or another.

You find a class or a club, not an open mic.
