How do people just talk to strangers out of the blue? Any time

You look more autistic running away from human contact than you do by just having an awkward conversation.

Do what I do, release the autism all at once. Without hesitation I start out by saying...

> "I'm 69 inches tall and my name is Anon!"

It works for me, and it's awkward...but humorous towards normies.

You're thinking about it too much. Just jump in feet first man.

>>18676638
Say "Hi how are you", etc.
If they reject you then they reject you. No big deal.

They have a reason to talk to you

you just grasp for topics, not desperately though, until you find out what the person likes and dislikes, find some common ground, maybe it is a bit awkward but nobody remembers those first few days

Like >>18676867 said it's just "Hello, how are you, you mind if I sit down here, nice to meet you, what's your name, what do you do, oh that's cool, I am an" etc. etc. etc. until you get to know each other

>" I would look autistic just trying to talk to someone with no reason to"
you don't really need a reason to. irony is a fucking poison these days, like people who do things unironically are embarrassing or whatever. people are social creatures by default. the only time you look autistic is when you ignore or don't recognize signals that they're not looking to talk to a stranger, like say, a group of friends at a restaurant/dining hall, or when they start cringing a bit in the conversation

You don't talk to strangers. You talk to people you have something in common with - the person sitting next to you in class, someone on line with you, a neighbor in the dorms, someone at a football game or concert.

You start by talking about the thing you have in common ("How did you do on the test? "Just once I'd like to be on a short line"), then introduce yourselves, then expand to chat about other things.

NOTE - it might take several conversations, not all at once
