Try talking to one new person each day on your ride. And play your level up until you are able to enter an engaging conversation with anyone on that train. Social skills are having in my opinion the most severe impact on your life.
I'm sorry to disagree, but I promise you that at least the strong extroverts would be happy to talk to somebody at least. Just by the numbers that should make up and not too small part of a train passengers. Plus it is easy to wander around or pretend to exit on the next stop in case the situation gets too awkward.
In fact I would argue that this is exactly the right social environment for practicing social skills as it takes place outside the typical peer groups and "save" settings. In a setting where people know somebody already a sudden change in social interactions might come across as weird and odd. The same thin a train is totally random and chances are super small to meet these people again.
Totally agree with this. Try to make small talk with someone every day. If they engage in conversation, continue talking until one person reaches the destination. You will be surprised by 1) how much you have in common and 2) what you can learn from them.
