Senior Don Juan
I've been studying the ways of the DJ for probably 2 years now (as many of the regulars know). But, about 2 months ago my confidence started to slip. I'm telling you guys this for 2 reasons, firstly - the lesson that's learnt and secondly so I can analyse my current situation.
So anyway I've been going to this new school since September last year - within 2 weeks I new every HB there practically and had most of their #s. Then, maybe late January, my confidence started to slip. The girls were bored of me, I was getting uninteresting and my jokes were getting crap.
The Chain Reaction
It starts with a cold/an illness/someone insulting you/anything that gets to you personally and for one reason or another makes you care about what other people think about you. From that you become self-concious. When you become self-concious your confidence starts slipping. When your confidence starts slipping your success rate lowers.
This continues until you're in a depression and suddenly, you feel like an AFC. But wait a second, that was the OLD you, what the hells going on? You tell yourself maybe you just can't become a DJ full stop and before you know it, you're trying to get advice from girls as to what way you should do your hair. And that was me 2 weeks ago.
Since then I've slowly been trying to become the DJ I once was, by trying to attract the girls that used to be swarming all around me. But this was pretty slow and unsucessful.
What happened to change me back? This morning I woke up and realised one thing (I already knew I was too self-concious and such) - I needed to just let go. I had to say "f*ck you" to self conciousness. I just let go of all the pissy little things that don't matter. No, I didn't decide "oh poor me, i hate everyone, i don't care about other people anymore". Instead I just went out there and stopped thinking about what i was saying and doing - I just did it.
I got excited, pumped and stayed that way for the whole day. Suddenly I had 'it' again. The girls that were looking the other way previously were trying to rub my chest from behind and getting real close to the man. Now I "get it". It's not about techniques or whatever. It's all about the attitude towards yourself.
The point of this post and the moral? Yes you've heard it all before about not caring what people think too much but this case should just put that in real life terms for you.
To any AFCs or DJs who's results seem to be going nowhere/getting worse I tell you this:
Stop analysing your own actions, that's what caused me so much messing up in the first place. Don't look at other people and ask yourself "what does he/she think of me?", "Is my hair all messed up?", "Am I walking right?" Just let go of any care, get excited about yourself and do it.
I was the funnest guy in the world today, and everyone wanted to be a part of my reality.
If there's anyone in a rut like I was - let go and get back on that horse mano!
