I'm fresh out of the alt.support.shyness newsgroup. I felt that 99.9% of
the things they were talking about were problems I wasn't having
anymore, and since I like to keep pushing myself, someone suggested I
come here.
My problem (and this is the last time you'll hear me bitching btw) is
that I had a whole lot of friends when I went through university, but
after we all graduated, they moved on and left me here. I spent the
first 6 or 7 months of the year making a victim out of myself, and
feeling like shit. This kind of turned me into a restrained,
over-analytical, pathetic version of myself, so I decided to do
something about it.
I started reading all I could on killing the shyness in me, and building my self-confidence. I used to think of myself as an A and the rest of
the world as a B, and as you can imagine, thought I stood out like a
sore thumb when I was in public. I've just finished a month of learning
that this is not the case, and that women see me as a 'perfectly normal'
guy and not some kind of strange freak. (dunno why I ever thought this
but hey)
As I got more confident and went out more and more, it became apparent
that the lack of friends was not my problem. I could go out and do stuff
on my own, with no hassles. What was becoming a problem was that
everyone else seemed to go out in groups, or at least in pairs. Even
young student chicks don't go shopping on their own, they have to go
with their flatmate. I've been practicing the art of smiling at chicks I
walk past, and it's very contageous and great fun. I think i'm ready to
start making conversations with girls out of the blue, but the fact that
they are hard to find on their own makes this a bit of a bitch to cope with.
I would love to hear some suggestions from guys who are in or have been
in my situation, and have made progress. Where did you go to from here?
I'm re-reading and re-reading the "How To Lay Girls guide" and a lot of
it seems to really help me. It's a fantastic resource.
Any help is welcomed.
Cheers, and don't let my nickname fool you :)
