This will be my official journal, as i have been told that if you want to be serious about growing as a person and benefiting the most from the b/c, you have to make a journal.
and i dont care if no one ever reads this - it is mostly for me to stay involved and continue growing as a social person.
anyways. it hit me today. i have always tricked myself into believing that i am good with women... and by believing this, it meant that i didnt have to do any work to get better. but that is not the truth at all - i am quite bad with women. Not necessarily horrendous, but on the borderline. The breaking point that made me realize how afraid of contact i am was today at a burger king. I was eating by myself and there were 3 cute girls sitting at a table across the way. i could tell they were curious about me... every time i glanced over, i caught them checking me out a bit. i know that, had i just made the first move, i could have gotten a phone number - maybe even met a future gf. but instead i just sat there.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. i am 18, involved and successful in athletics (namely baseball), very school oriented (top 10 in graduating class, class president, student rep on the school board, leadership crap up the ying yang, and going to a great college), and i consider myself pretty good looking. i am small however (135 lbs and 5 10) and its something that has i think has been a limiting factor to my social growth, but not a big factor. i know i have potential for being great at this stuff... i have spurts sometimes where i could get anyone i wanted. but stress makes me a moody person so i can have the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. honestly... getting passed the women stuff, i would be perfectly happy being like my dad who is just very good at being social - literally he goes up to anyone and everyone and starts fun conversations. multiple times he has called a wrong number and gotten into a 20 minute conversation. he is a pilot so he goes everywhere, and i would say on average he meets/has conversations with over 80 people a week.
so i would like to state some goals i have for myself, both short term and longterm.
short term -
i want to feel completely comfortable approaching guys/older people and comfortable starting up a convo with them.
i want to get rid of the anxiety i have with approaching/meeting new women (i dont have to be completely comfortable, but atleast funcionable).
i want to get through a whole bootcamp
long term -
i want to take situations that to many are considered awkward and make them normal and fun
i want to be able to meet people anywhere, in any situation, and i want them to remember me as being fun, outgoing, and chill
i want to date multiple women so i can get a grasp of what my 'type' really is.
i want to have the process of meeting women all the way to being intimate with them as second nature and not a big deal.
anyways these are my goals and they are subject to change... but i definately will be keeping in touch with my journal.
