Hey Kenzie,
I hope you are doing well. So what makes you think you are bossy? Is that what you think of yourself or is that what others have told you? I know people can off strong which can lead to people feeling uncomfortable or thinking you are bossy when you don't mean to be.
I always found that introducing myself to people by complimenting them helps. Something like "Hey there, I like the colour of your shirt, where did you get it from" then go on from there. Also when speaking to them ask non intrusive and simple questions to try and find a common interest so you can keep the conversation going. If you are able to connect with someone, ask them if they want to hang out some time but do not be pushy about it. Some people are shy, busy or need a bit more time to warm up etc.
Regards,
SleepyRain
