You know how people are nowadays, I don't want to be labeled a creep or anything for simply trying to befriend someone lol
I'd rather just not try at all
You're being too self conscious now.
You're more scared of how they label you, and that's valid.
That's what you call spot light effect.
You think what other would think of you, but in reality no one does. They are all self obsessed thinking about themselves on what other would think of them. Not some random dude.
You have nothing to lose. You're not doing anything illegal. You're not trying to purposely make someone uncomfortable.
You're good to go.
Go and shoot your shot.
The way I see it, woman consider men who can't approach as " Incels " failures of the society.
Vs
Your way of looking at it as " Approaching " someone would mean, they will deam you Creep.
