Or go to a bar and say hi to people who are hanging around. Compliment someone’s jacket. Tell someone that their whole aesthetic is cool as fuck. Comment on the weather. Become a part of your local environment and interact with your fellow humans. Join a hiking or hobby group.

Nah, I'm good thanks

    Fair enough, it will help with loneliness though. And I'll acknowledge it's hard and awkward at first, but it's a skill and it's one I think many people would appreciate developing. It's like getting in shape but for the social part of the self.

    Even if I felt lonely, none of those things are how I would start talking to anyone.

    When I'm in public I wish to be left alone. It would be a violation of the Golden Rule for me to start talking to randos about their outfits or the weather.
