Nope, talking to people is easy, but how often are you talking to the person? Whenever there's another person to witness the communication, or a risk of it being spread somehow, the person's given social positioning poisons talking to *them*. Talking to people is easy, talking through their persona is hard.

People are generally super easy to talk to if they don't think it effects anything else, but if they're at work or with friends, there's going to be a bit of fuckery to negotiate that will be needlessly difficult if you aren't clued in to what that is.

People are easy to talk to, but then the question is "Do you want to talk to them?" because if your motives aren't genuine, you're faking shit, and if they see you're forcing things, they won't feel comfortable. If you're talking to people because you *should*, don't. If you have a reason to talk to them then words will come naturally since you actually have a base to reference, you know what you want to know, and they will tell you how to ask them.

Being forward is good, asking questions is good, people like to feel like you're interested in them, and if you're actually motivated to speak to them, you are inherently interested in them in some way. And if you find they're not answering questions or not engaging with you, it's fine to just walk away, they're not interested, and you shouldn't be interested in conversation people don't want to have.

Oh and finally, sometimes people just fucking suck, some people are being assholes for undisclosed reason unrelated to you. If you've been authentic and they're being unpleasant, that's them being weird, they're failing a social cue and its best to move on.
