It's easy to talk to people at school you kinda just have to "butt in" on conversations
I remember when I joined Jiujiutsu I was the new guy you know and they make all the new guys sit toguether while the guys that go regularly spar so they put us toguether on one area me I just can't be next to someone and be quiet it makes me desperate and In my head im jsut thinking Like ok ok umm what do i tell this guy and this is how i started simple "hey I'm (censored)" then go for handshake and he told me his name and from there i asked him like Oh so what brought you out here and bla bla then where he's from and from then on it was easy because 1 we were both starting new on something and we were just talking on the crazy moves people were doing then we were just joking around about random things and in the end what im saying is join a something that you and others enjoy as it gives u something to talk about, but i would say a Jiujitsu/muay thai gym is the best to make good conversation it's al chill and everyone is SUPEr respectful to everyone and since your the new guy the older guys are going to approach you to give you types and encouragement
