How to find study friends in college with social anxiety?

I think that as soon as your professor tells you to “discuss this with the person sitting next to you” or assigns a group activity/project, you should use that as an excuse to talk to them. Maybe start off complaint about how hard the material is and then ask if they want to go to the library. That way, if you’re too nervous to ask outright, you can still do so.
