Girl's Behavior

I suck at socializing and connecting with people. How do I fix this in the future?

I went on this canyon trip and met a cool guy in our group. He talked to me on the first day, when we climbed a hill on our way to the first canyon (he socialized a bit with everyone that day). But bc my condition was bad, I wasn’t able to keep conversation going, bc I was short on breath. So I probably (unintentionally) came across as not interested or antisocial.

Later on, I tried to ask him question and socialize with him but it felt like he lost interest in conversation with me. He had no problem talking to other people - it looked like he enjoyed talking with my friend bc they had the same interests.

But it kinda sucked that I wasn’t able to connect with him again. He really seemed like a cool person. I’m not into him by the way, but I like to feel comfortable and chat with everyone in our group. And these situations happen to me all the time; if I’m not 100% loose from the getgo, they lose interest and somehow always connect with the people I came with 😑 (This is just 1 example of many over the years)

How do I fix this in the future if I screw up again with someone from the beginning? I’m introverted and have difficulty feeling 100% good and myself from the very start.
