I'm not that afraid to go out of my comfort zone

but if I spontaneously talked to random people there is a good chance they'd see me as a dangerous lunatic given how weird I can be lol

There's nothing wrong with a bit of eccentricity, but of course people have limits. The ability to have impromptu conversations with strangers is a life skill worth learning. Being a bit weird or silly is endearing. Having it as a handicap in social situations, however, is a weakness
