| I was reading through these and everybody told you the essentials based on this picture - I don't think it hurts to reiterate, however.
O2 said to have a "casual but stylish" look. If you're unsure of what to buy because of the shape of your body go with a nice pair of pants (not jeans) that fit you well (not baggy) and a solid colored t-shirt that isn't baggy either. and example would be black slacks and a solid colored t-shirt from gap or banana or somewhere that is casual but elegant, you decide.
You are telling everyone how insecure you are on just taking the picture alone through your body posture. If you try what everyone told you to do to look more confident (straighten up, chest out, shoulders wide etc.) and you still feel awkward about it, start worrying less about how you move and more about not giving a fuck what everyone thinks about how you stand or walk, or to put it in deeper terms, come to accept yourself, cause when you do the confidence will start flowing out.
Work on your eye contact, as often as you can. all those girls you are too shy to look in the eye or inadvertently look away from when they meet your gaze are only saying one thing: im not good enough to be looking at these girls. thats just not true, otherwise you wouldn't even be on this forum.
you're not a bad looking dude, if by chance that is where your insecurities are stemming from. the comments you made about yourself made it seem like you are insecure. "And my head is quite large..."
I know I didn't really focus on your posture and all as much, but I went psychological on you, but its what natural to me, seeing as how I'm a psychology major as well. I wouldn't be telling you this had this stuff not been clicking for me like crazy these past few months.
Practice talking to everyone you have a chance to, and just ask them how their day was, this will translate into confidence, slowly but surely. I go to UT, and it was such a struggle my freshman year to talk to new girls, but once i cowboy'd up, it got easier.
Last but not least, when you get your style, confidence, and game (which you will) make sure you develop a part of your game that no one has. ex. the suave foreigner from south american, the romantic french guy, the sensitive musician. all these schemas girls have in their heads about good lovers, this will give you an edge, but don't copy anyone, let it be part of who you already are.
Hope this was informative. Much love and good luck.
