Should I go on sites like omegle to build up my confidence/social skills?

I've been at uni for a couple of months and feel that my social skills have been really bad. I literally have no friends, the only people I talk to are my flatmates. I do often talk to people n my seminars and lecture but this doesn't go anything beyond that. I would also say I'm naturally introverted, though sometimes I feel like I have the power to talk to people for end on - depending on the subject -like politcs. However, when it comes to just I talking casually and especially girls I turn completely off. Especially to strangers - which is critical as at uni everybody is a stranger to each other. Because I'm not best at making friends, maybe one of the worst, I was wondering if going on omegle and chatting with random people - who I'll never see again will give me a newfound confidence. tbh, I'm not usually a confident person and also, like I've explained not good with strangers, but around friends I tend to be a different person. Unfortunately here a t uni I have no friends and also 'no life' in the sense most people here talk about.

Of course at the same time I feel bad about this, I've been on omegle a few times and really didn't feel good about being on the internet talking to random people with nothing else better to do. But I feel at the same time, I really can't do it with anyone else. And my worst fear is, maybe I'll just look at omegle as an alternative to real-life so it won't benefit me at all, maybe harm what I want to be able to do in practice. A lot of the people on their do seem like they are quite depressed (and horny not to mention), I don't wanna be like them either.....

Put the internet to work for you.
