How To Minimize Anxiety
This is true of anything.
Now, most people don’t like to hear this. Especially when it comes to feeling confident talking to girls and not worrying too much about what happens.
Rejection sucks. Getting rejected in a social setting sucks even worse.
But consider this, everything you learned how to do, you either learned from trial and error, or modeling.
Now, I’m not talking about some dates in history that you memorized for a history test. I’m talking about skills. Walking, talking, driving, any kind of sports or music.
Generally speaking, any learning involved modeling, which just means copying somebody else, and trial and error.
Think about a little kid who learns to walk. He or she sees all the other adults around, standing and walking on two legs. Much more efficient than four legs, right?
So they give it a try, and fall flat on their face. And laugh. And try again. And fail. And laugh. And continue until they succeed.
Being able to walk up and confidently talk to girls, and walk away JUST as confident regardless of what happens is also a skill.
And just like any other skill, it requires practice. Lots of practice.
But whenever most guys walk up to a girl, they tell themselves that THIS girl is going to be the one for them. If they succeed, they’ll be the happiest guy on Earth.
If they fail, they’ll be miserable for the rest of their lives.
Hard to practice under the sitatuions.
But practice you must, says Master Yoda.
How can you practice? One way is to simply keep some stats. Just of yourself. Not to show off to your boys or post online or try to prove your alpha-ness. Just to keep the idea of practice firmly in your mind whenever you see a cutie.
Just write down the number of girls you made eye contact with, smiled at, talked to, exchanged names with, etc.
Keep it in Excel or another form. It’s really BEST if you don’t share this with anybody.
Once you get started, you’ll see girls in a different light. It will seem much LESS like a do or die situation, and much more like practice.
Becuase you’ll have proof that every single girl is a stat. (Within YOUR experience).
Imagine if a baseball team played every single game like it was the last game of the world series.
They’d be a basketcase! In truth, if a team is a few games over 500, they’re doing pretty good. Since they play 162 (I think…) games a year, they KNOW they are bound to lose some.
Since baseball is the most statistically driven sport on Earth, they all know this.
So will you when you start keeping stats.
This will jack up your confidence, and make you much more attractive.
And pretty soon, those cute girls will be trying to get YOU into a relationship.
