Im the same. (I know you not addressing me but this is so similar). Like with this thing in my op I just sort of “meh” my response and was more wondering if I should have done something special. Half the time I wonder if it’s my social inadequacies or if I truly dgaf
It's probably a mixture of "social inadequacies" and truly not giving a ****. Depending on who the girl is, or the situation, environment, etc.
I fall into analysis paralysis a lot, which could hurt when a good opportunity arises. Analysis is great for careers or when you're at home. But for active participation, you can become socially lazy. I have missed plenty of opportunities.
What I'm likely going to do going forward is prepare myself for active participation in my head before I go out anywhere. Even if it's to the grocery store or gas station. Just to get the "mental reps". Maybe focus on the process or steps involved, and not on the end result (or anticipated end result). Become outcome independent.
I have learned some things from observation.
Confidence is a huge cheat code, and probably the biggest factor in getting laid or finding women. How you get to confidence (
Options) is ultimately going to give you the best chance of success with women. It's also when you're least likely to care about
rejection. Which is the root cause of not talking to a girl. I have
buffers for sure.
I like this site, b/c I can take notes and analyze situations, and look at other people's experiences. But ultimately, it comes down to getting
results. I always have that in the back of my mind.
