Real Social Dynamics sadly, did not help me at all. My issue is that when i was in high school, i was one of the smartest guys. But being smart also gets you into trouble. I remember that i would help some of the really cool guys in my English class out with their homework after school, just so i can fit in. I thought we were friends,( we would eat together at lunch), but as soon as the semester was over, they wouldnt talk to me anymore. I admit, i did it because i thought hanging out with the coolest guys at school would get me girls. The reason im timid is because im scared of being a failure. I dont look like a nerd at all, ive been called good looking a couple of times, and my bmi is 23.5. I spike my hair into a mohawk, and i listen to hiphop, and dress urban.everywomanshero said:Being timid would seem to suggest to me that you don't believe you have the right to just take things in life... What will it take for you to wake up to your own value? Will you let others continue to occupy your rightful place in life or will you stand up and take charge? Will you worry about other's feelings at your own expense? Will you continue to deny that you are as important as anyone else? Will you subjugate your feelings to others?
You will respect yourself a lot more (as will women) when you decide to take a stand for yourself and make things happen in life. How others respond in any single instance makes absolutely no difference. It's about having pride in yourself and a willingness to believe that you have something to offer others and showing that you're interested in others. What right do you have to deny yourself and others such a great experience, anyway? The sooner you drop the PUA crap, the sooner you can get on the road to recovery. I would suggest you do daily affirmations, work on assertiveness training, and most importantly do not try to be something phoney-- show genuine curiosity about others and their lives, not phoney tricks that will backfire and weird them out.
Remember the norm of reciprocity-- if you begin by being genuinely interested and friendly to others, they will start to do likewise, but it will only work when you drop every ounce of PUA BS and begin to rid yourself of anxiety, low self worth, and depression. Everytime you do "that line" or use "that AMOG" you will be destroying your own success
But im so scared of faliure, that even even offered sex, i would turn it away. If you saw me, you will cry to the moon if i told you i was a virgin.
