I'm at my limit.
I can't go on living like this.
Lift Off
First some background.
At the time of writing this, I am a college freshman. Up until recent years, my life was plagued by the typical problems of an AFC: debilitating shyness, social awkwardness, lack of athleticism, being unassertive, etc. Any AFC problem you can think of I probably embodied.
However, in recent years, I started to change. I made new friends, became more social, became an athlete, and got into a relationship for the first time. Of course with all of these came new sets of problems but overall things were finally looking up.
And then I graduated and went to college.
Things coasted along well for a short time at the beginning but soon things started falling apart. I felt the difficulties that first semester freshmen faced adjusting to the workload. Consistent lack of sleep, terrible eating habits and relationship troubles contributed to a depressing first semester. The end of the relationship especially fxcked my mind up; I'll probably make a separate thread about that later on down the line.
Anyway, the purpose of this thread is that I'm sick of being an AFC and want to live the life of a Don, to be a person who values himself and others value as well. To act with confidence. To be assertive and never be pushed around by anyone. Etc.
Flaws
I pass up opportunities
I procrastinate
I'm lazy
I don't eat as healthy as I should
Same with exercise
I lack proper discipline and dedication
This sometimes applies to academics as well
I'm an introvert
I'm gullible
I'm not very independent
I'm not as knowledgable about certain topics as I should be
I have anger control issues
I have issues speaking my mind and saying no
There's probably more I'm leaving out but those are the most important points.
Goals
Start an exercise and nutrition routine and stick with it
Become more sociable
Approach and get numbers and dates
Develop better study habits
Develop my skills more through dedicated practice every day
Learn how to network
Get started working toward a new career
Get over my ex
Expand my knowledge
Better my sense of humor
Better my spending habits
Learn how to dance
Learn how to produce music/deejay
Become a more well-rounded person in general
There's probably more but that's all I can think of. To help me reach these lofty goals I intend to do as much research on DJ techniques as possible as well as exercise and nutrition. I'm not a complete AFC anymore. I know that if I can come from where I used to be I can go to where I want to be. I'm determined to change. Nothing will stop me, not even myself.
Thank you for reading. Any assistance/constructive criticism will be appreciated. I intend to update this thread frequently with field reports. I'm determined to go as far as I can and then exceed beyond that.
