I mean he will just look at someone and talk to them as if he knew them forever. I am the type of person who only speaks when spoken to. Because my thing is what if they are having a day, what if they dont like talking to strangers and give me the cold shoulder. How do I open and talk to people like my friend

You could try by smiling at them first. If they smile back at ya, you know they are open to talking. If they don't smile back at you, you've lost nothing.

You have a lack of self confidence, find that and you will also find you ability to talk to anyone. It all comes down to your self worth. It is a learn-ed skill and something you need to develop maybe find a self help book on communication. There is a good one called "winning with people" By John C Maxwell.
You Will see that it is very much about you and not other people.
Good luck

Your friend sounds like me and you sound like my sister. she always says that about me that I can hold a good conversation with anyone, even complete strangers. It is just the nature of how your personality interacts with others. I agree with one of the other commentators. If you are looking to break out of your shell, you can always try taking a speech class at the local college or annex, it will help you to perhaps overcome the discomfort of speaking publicly to others and instill the confidence to approach just about anyone with feeling imposing.

I think it's just a personality thing, but if you're at least 21, alcohol helps a lot (semi-kidding). Otherwise, don't sweat it on an everyday basis. Everyone is different, and not everyone can be the life of the party type.

I am like that, but lets hope he is a good listener too! Sometimes you need to be able to do both.
Just be open, friendly and interested in people, that is a good start

You have to have confidence Sweetie. It doesn't matter if someone is having a bad day, by chatting to someone , you could be improving their day.
