I feel really strongly for this guy - clearly he has an awkward social problem (many people do to different degrees).
But I cant help feeling this is completely the wrong way to focus on improving things :( random social interactions is very infrequent to everyone. The kind of conversations he has forced in the last 15 days are very artifical. THe people he is talking too probably share all of the awkwardness he is feeling - which he then attributes to himself.
Humans dont interact like that - we build connections through familiarity etc. Where are the real friendships? That is what he needs to look at - they will be MUCH more beneficial IMO.
