Yesterday I played badminton with some stranger for about 2 hours. I really enjoyed playing badminton, and actually other ball games are just quite difficult for me.
I am not an extrovert, so actively talking with a person I haven’t seen before can be far too hard for me. To be more socially interactive with people, I was trying to push myself to fit into different environments and make some friends.
I found that when I talk to someone, though we don’t know each other, he is willing to response to me. So if you do not dare to communicate with strangers, try to count “3 2 1” mentally and then start talking, put the fear behind.

technically in badminton you use a shuttlecock, not a ball, but considering how funny of a word "shuttlecock" is i don't blame you for writing ball lol
also slight difference in meaning here - I enjoyED playing badminton = this one time, in this story, where you previously played badminton, you enjoyed it
but
i enjoy playing badminton = you enjoy it, in general, pretty much every time - including this past time you're referencing in the story
since you said you don't like other sports, i think the second one (i enjoy) fits better, but "i enjoyED" is not wrong by any means

response = noun, response = verb
he is = a man, and probably a specific man that was already referenced
they are = any person in general. we use it in english as a gender-neutral pronoun, even in the singular. the "someone" you talk to, to try to be more social, could be a man or a woman at any time, so we use the gender-neutral "they."
people get huffy about the singular "they" online and in writing but it is CONSTANT in spoken english, to the point where even people who do get angry about singular "they" often don't even realise they use it in speaking all the time lol
So if you do not darlike to communicate with strangers, try to count “3 2 1” mentally and then start talking, put the fear behind.
if you dare to do something, then you're attempting it or trying it. if someone does not dare speak to a stranger, they won't start talking.
you could also write "So if you're the type to never dare to communicate with strangers..." because type = you usually/typically/generally do that, not that you are currently doing it. english is weird
