Why is it so hard to just open up and meet people?

I have personally been shy my whole life and for a while now have had a pretty low self esteem. I used to be pretty big but have gotten into decent shape. I know you all are probably saying well you are on here and showing off your cock but that is different I mean no offense to anyone here but you are only just people on the internet and I have no clue who you guys really are and it is different having to actually talk to someone face to face. I have become more social lately and it is easy for me to talk to people I know and easier to talk to people i know what i need to talk to them about but I have a hard time having the guts to talk to a girl I don't know. I don't have too many firends and never even gone out with a girl let alone kiss one and I don't give a shit what the other guys would say but I don't need the sex in the relationship. I just want a companion to be there with me and just to talk to and hold hands with or cuddle. I know I am just rambling and complaining but I just wanted to vent so sorry if I wasted your time reading this

I think everyone whoever they are and however confident they may seem, have moments of shyness or doubt that they fit or can socially relate to the people that surround them. I totally agree with you that the internet allows us to display ourselves without that eye-to-eye contact that causes us all to feel uncertain about ourselves.

From my way of thinking the best way to build confidence in talking to girls or guys is to involve yourself in a group with a shared hobby. Often from that step you begin building a social circle and develop your social skills ... because that is all it is, a skill. You sound like you are getting there by being more social ... you've taken the first steps, it will get easier, you just need to give it some more time.
